On the evening of July 18, 2019, Earl Lee Clark, 63, was found fatally shot in his carport in Jackson, Mississippi. Officers responding to reports of gunfire discovered Clark suffering from fatal injuries; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the encounter began as a robbery and that evidence at the scene indicated a struggle. Reports state Clark fired back and wounded his assailant during the altercation. That wounded individual later required treatment at a hospital, and the investigation led to the arrest of 25-year-old Avery Washington, who was charged with capital murder in connection with Clark’s death.

What details about the robbery or the events in the carport might help clarify what happened that night for anyone who remembers seeing or hearing something in that neighborhood on July 18, 2019?
