What happened
Tsombe Clark, whose fatal shooting is dated August 7, 2015, in Greenville, North Carolina, appears in The Washington Post's Fatal Force records of people killed by on-duty police gunfire. The record establishes the incident date, location and inclusion in the national fatal-shooting dataset, but that source does not establish the precise sequence of the encounter, Clark's actions, any warning given by officers, or a later charging decision. Without a verified local investigative report or contemporaneous account, it would be misleading to characterize Clark as armed, unarmed, threatening, or compliant. Those unresolved issues remain priorities for case-specific research.
