On Memorial Day, May 27, 2002, 25-year-old William Gordon Clark, known to family and friends as Lucky, was standing in the 100 block of 58th Street SE in Washington, D.C., when gunfire erupted around 9:30 p.m. Officers from the Sixth District found Clark and two other people on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. Clark was taken to Washington Hospital Center MedStar and pronounced dead; the two others were treated as victims of the same burst of violence.

Detectives from the MPD Violent Crimes Branch canvassed the neighborhood, interviewed witnesses, and collected forensic evidence, but promising leads eventually dwindled and the case cooled. The department has kept the homicide open, published Clark’s photo and details, and issued a reward poster offering up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No suspect has been publicly identified and no arrest has been announced.

If anyone knew William Lucky Clark, was in the 58th Street SE area that night, or has information that wasn’t shared with investigators, please contact the lead sergeant or detectives listed on the reward notice.
