On the evening of July 17, 2020, 38-year-old Rodricas M. Clark of Walls, Mississippi, was at a party in Southwest Memphis when an argument with another man, 58-year-old Douglas Edwards of Memphis, escalated. Witnesses say Edwards briefly left the gathering, returned armed with a handgun, pushed Clark and then shot him multiple times. Clark was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified Douglas Edwards as the primary suspect. The case was presented to a grand jury and on March 17, 2021 an indictment for first-degree murder was returned. A bond was set at $100,000 while the case proceeded in the District Attorney’s Vertical Team 2, General Sessions Division 9 and Criminal Court Division 2.

Are there witnesses or anyone who attended that party who can provide additional details about what happened that night?
