Victim: Clarke Fox, 18.
Date and location of murder: March 17, 2020, Court Street, Hamilton.
Circumstances: Clarke Fox was shot in broad daylight at about 2.45pm as he stood near the junction of Court Street and Elliott Street in North Hamilton.
In what police branded “brazen” public violence, 18 shots were fired in the area surrounding the junction.
Some of the cartridges indicated that bullets likely struck cars.
Two suspects on a motorcycle opened fire as they headed south on Court Street, pursuing Mr Fox on to Elliott Street and sending bystanders scrambling for cover.
The passenger on the motorcycle kept shooting as Mr Fox continued running. Their victim died from his injuries overnight in hospital.
Stephen Corbishley, then the police commissioner, condemned the indiscriminate shooting, adding: “This is not the Wild West, not a Hollywood movie — this is life.”
