Delandis Cortez Clark, 31, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 28, 2013, in the parking lot of Wolfe Enterprises in Jackson, Tennessee. Clark had been leaving a graduation party when an argument among the crowd escalated into gunfire. Another man, 31-year-old Brian Jontez Banes, was also killed; a 32-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman suffered nonfatal gunshot wounds.

The Jackson Police Department identified two men in connection with the double homicide. Anthony Montrell Swift, 31 at the time, was arrested by the Gang Task Force and found in possession of a loaded .45 caliber revolver; he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Clark and Banes. Travontay Berry was alleged to have fired a semi-automatic handgun into the air during the initial argument; he was charged with carrying a firearm for the purpose of going armed and tampering with evidence and was later found guilty of those charges, receiving 11 months and 29 days for the firearm count and four years for tampering with evidence.

Swift was awaiting arraignment in Jackson City Court on the murder charges. The deaths left family and friends mourning — did anyone at the party or nearby businesses see what happened that night or have information about the sequence of events?
