Family says they believe the shooting incident took place at the top of a hill at Westwood Apartments.

Following that, they say they believe the Nissan that Clark was driving rolled down the hill, jumped the curb, and ended up in the wooded area.

“It was very unbelievable. I never thought that would’ve been him. When I found out the information, I really broke down. That’s really like my little brother, and it’s always just been us. It’s hard to try and go on without him and we don’t know what happened to him. Please we just want answers, we want justice, any camera footage, anything that you may know please just let us know.”

Right now, the family says they appreciate all the kind words and actions, such as placing items at Clark’s memorial.

They say while that goes a long way, what they really need from the community is for people to call the Albany police Department at 229-431-2100, with any information they have in connection with the death of Neontae Clark.
