NEW EVIDENCE COMES TO LIGHT
According to ABC7 Chicago, during Clark’s court hearing on Saturday 3 December, video evidence, license plate information from the car he left in, and fingerprints from a wine bottle he was seen holding led to his arrest.
“Investigators said the shooting stemmed from a fight over a high-stakes dice game at the 810 Billiard and Bowling alley at 1210 San Jacinto. HPD said Takeoff was at the wrong place at the wrong time, considering he reportedly wasn’t involved in the game or the fight,” reports the publication.
