Kaleel Shakur Clarke was 20 when he was shot multiple times and killed on the afternoon of Saturday, February 24, 2018, while visiting the University Commons apartments on Savannah State University’s campus in Savannah, Georgia. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Neither Clarke nor the person suspected of shooting him were enrolled as students at the university.

Campus security measures were stepped up immediately after the shooting, and law enforcement used enhanced campus surveillance to place 20-year-old Phillip Burke at the scene. Authorities arrested Burke less than a day later; initial charges included carrying a weapon in a school safety zone and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

In 2020 Clarke’s family filed a lawsuit against the property owner, Savannah State University Foundation Real Estate Ventures LLC, alleging inadequate security and insufficient warning about local criminal activity. The family has also publicly said the investigation and its outcomes were unsatisfactory. Does anyone have more information about the case, the lawsuit, or developments connected to the investigation?
