Clarence Elwood Threat, Sr., 34, was shot to death in his Richmond, Virginia home after an intruder entered the house in the early hours of June 19, 1997. Threat had been asleep in his bedroom with Andrea Noble when a noise at the screen door and a knock prompted Noble to check; she found no one and shortly afterward an intruder made entry and shot Threat.

Investigators later identified Darick Demorris Walker as a suspect in Threat’s killing and in the murder of Stanley Roger Beale, a separate slaying that occurred within three years of Threat’s death. Walker was indicted on capital murder charges for both homicides plus multiple counts of burglary and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. At trial the prosecution presented witness testimony and identifications placing Walker at the scenes; the jury found him guilty on all counts and imposed the death penalty for the capital murder convictions, along with life terms and additional years for the other offenses.

Is there anyone who knew Clarence Threat or who remembers the neighborhood in Richmond in 1997 who can share details that might still be relevant?
