Tonight, police still have no one detained for and no major leads in the murder of Amandala journalist Kareem Clarke. The 27 year old was shot 5 times - twice in the head - as he left a female's home riding early on Sunday night. Clarke had been a journalist for 3 years, known for his relentless work ethic, he had no known gang ties, nor was he connected to the underworld - so, the murder, the very deliberate and cruel nature of it - has baffled friends, colleagues and family. What we do know is that he was in a gang ridden area that had witnessed a senseless murder of a teen two weeks earlier.
Surveillance footage from a private security camera on Vernon Street shows Clarke in his last moments alive, about to approach the bridge when 2 men on bike are ride past the camera. A police mobile is next in the frame, a few minutes behind those 2 persons, and then somewhere out of the frame, Clarke is murdered.
