On June 27, 2021, 23-year-old Marika Denise Clark was brought to the emergency room at Regional One Health in Memphis after suffering gunshot wounds to her neck and legs. A silver car pulled up and a man moved the critically wounded Clark from the driver’s seat to the hospital entrance before leaving; she died a short time later. Clark left behind two young children, a son and a daughter.

Surveillance footage from the hospital identified the man who dropped her off as her 27-year-old ex-boyfriend, Barry Medlock. Medlock fled the scene with the couple’s 7-month-old son in the vehicle, triggering an AMBER Alert; the infant was found safe a few days later and Medlock was arrested four days after the shooting. In August 2022 a grand jury indicted Barry Medlock on second-degree murder and on being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm; the Shelby County District Attorney’s Domestic Violence Unit was handling the case and Medlock was being held in the Shelby County Jail awaiting further proceedings.

If anyone knew Marika, her routines, or saw a silver car near Regional One Health on June 27, 2021, please come forward with information.
