Romy Bogier, a 43-year-old Black man from Parkville, Maryland, was killed on Labor Day, September 2, 2024, after an argument in the parking lot of White Oak School on Leefield Road escalated to gunfire. Bogier, a Baltimore native, widowed father of three and grandfather, was found with a gunshot wound to the head and died after being taken to the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center.

Investigators say Bogier, his adult son Remy and James Clark arrived together in a Hyundai Santa Fe owned by Bogier. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the three men arguing, Bogier at one point holding a small handgun, and Clark tackling Bogier, then bending over and shooting him in the head at close range. Remy was injured while fleeing and treated at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center; prosecutors later told jurors he was not struck by gunfire but fell and fractured his skull.

Detectives linked Clark to the scene by a wallet found near suspected blood, surveillance comparisons and similar clothing and gait; police found Bogier’s handgun in Clark’s pocket when he was taken into custody. Clark, 44 at arrest, was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and related counts and held without bond. The case had reached a jury by November 2025; deliberations were underway at that time.

Did anyone in the Parkville or White Oak community witness the argument or the vehicle arriving that afternoon?
