Tag: Police murder of Stephon Clark shuts down Sacramento

Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert took a little over an hour to announce that her office will not file charges against the police officers who shot and killed Stephon Alonzo Clark.

Angry and frustrated residents are demanding answers after a police-involved shooting left an unarmed, Black man dead. Stephon Clark, 22, was fatally shot in his Meadowview area backyard Sunday, March 18, after two Sacramento Police Department (SPD) officers shot at him more than 20 times. Local and national Black leaders have vowed to demand justice for Clark and his family. Black Lives Matter and Rev. Les Simmons of South Sacramento Christian Center spearheaded vigils and rallies, where those who knew Clark called him a loving son and father of two young boys, who didn’t deserve to die.
