On the evening of June 5, 2021, 26-year-old Johnice Phyllis Marie Clark was shot in the head and killed after a dispute at a pool party in Warren, Michigan escalated into a high-speed chase. The argument reportedly began with another woman at the gathering; Clark and a friend left the party and were pursued by a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Ashinay Nakabree-Caprice Horton-Starks. Horton-Starks fired multiple rounds into Clark’s car, and the chase ended at a nearby 7-Eleven where Clark died of her injuries.

Warren police identified Horton-Starks as the primary suspect. She evaded capture for nearly seven months before U.S. Marshals arrested her in Bismarck, North Dakota, on December 29, 2021. Two other people, Schakerra Starks, then 43, and Martise Zorn, then 22, were charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the case. Horton-Starks later pleaded no contest to a reduced second-degree murder charge and related counts, and received a prison term that included 19 to 31 years plus two years for a felony firearm conviction.

Did anyone at the party or who knew Johnice notice anything in the hours before the argument that might help explain how it escalated?
