JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The family of a slain 16-year-old said he was killed for his shoes and cellphone in Jacksonville, Florida.
Police got a call about a shooting just before 3:15 p.m. Sunday.
His great aunt Daisy Wise said she believes he was killed in a robbery. She said his shoes and cellphone were missing.
Officers found Marquette Clark dead in the roadway at Ken Knight Drive and Moncrief Road.
"That’s petty for someone to lose their life over something like that," Wise said. "Whatever it may be, nobody has a right to take nobody’s life.”
Clark went to Raines High School, according to a Facebook page his family said belonged to him.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office crime map, there have been 11 assaults and one robbery within a half-mile radius of Ken Knight Drive and Moncrief Road in the past four weeks.
The Sheriff’s Office said officers have no information about a suspect at this time.
Officers are asking anyone with information about Clark's death to call 904-630-0500 or email JSOCrimeTips@JaxSheriff.org.
