Charles Roy Clark was a 45-year-old Houston Police Department officer killed on April 3, 2003, while responding to a silent alarm at a check cashing store on South Loop East in Houston, Texas. He arrived within four minutes of the alarm. As he entered the store the suspects opened fire, striking him in the shoulder. He returned fire but his service weapon jammed after the first shot. While he called for assistance one of the suspects shot him in the head execution-style. The suspects then executed the female store clerk before fleeing.

The suspects were apprehended the following day and one defendant was later sentenced to death for killing the clerk; another defendant was convicted of related charges. In 2013 the man identified as Officer Clark’s murderer was granted a new trial and released on a technicality. Officer Clark, one day shy of his 20th anniversary with the department, is survived by his wife, mother, brother, and two sisters.

Does anyone have memories of Officer Clark or information about the case that could add context to these events?
