On July 4, 2022, a dispute that began in Roseville, Michigan, ended with 28-year-old JaRay Robertson shot multiple times in a parking lot at an apartment complex in nearby Fraser. Robertson, a resident of Clinton Township, was found on the ground and taken to a hospital, where he died. Witnesses reported hearing an argument and said Robertson pleaded for his life before shots were fired; authorities later described the killing as an execution.

Investigators linked the Fraser homicide to a separate shooting in Roseville and to an Eastpointe woman, Tamara Scott, which led them to 32-year-old Jeffery Edward Clark of Detroit. When a search warrant was executed at Clark’s home, he tried to flee through a back window and was arrested; police recovered a firearm and clothing believed to have been used. Prosecutors said the motive involved allegations that Robertson had been harassing Clark’s girlfriend.

Surveillance video shown at a preliminary hearing reportedly captured Robertson on the ground begging while a man stood over him and opened fire. During the hearing Robertson’s twin brother lunged at Clark and struck him before being restrained. Anyone who knew Robertson or has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
