Ormondo Cortez Clark, 28, was killed in Macon, Georgia, on the evening of May 16, 2022. According to witnesses, several unidentified men ambushed him near Ibex and Chappell Streets, chasing him and firing from both sides of the street. Clark sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene after the shooting was reported around 10 p.m.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, served search warrants and pursued leads, but no arrests have been announced and the suspects remain unidentified. Investigators have explored whether the killing was retaliatory and possibly tied to gang activity because Clark’s half-brother was in a gang and the slaying followed, by two days, the murder of a man linked to a rival gang. Authorities do not believe Clark was a gang member.

Family members remember him for his drawing talent, sense of humor and generosity, and have held anti-violence events to keep his memory alive. A reward is being offered for tips that lead to a breakthrough. If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please come forward.
