Police Looking for Public’s Help to ID Suspects in Fatal Malden Shooting

– Allison Goldsberry

The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Malden Police and State Police are once again asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects involved in a fatal shooting in January.

Shawn Clark, 39, was shot and killed on Tuesday, January 29 at Patriot Skateboards in Malden. Clark, the store owner, was killed in the middle of the afternoon on that day outside of the front door following a confrontation with two male suspects.

Police say they have devoted significant time and resources to the investigation but have made little progress. They are releasing surveillance photos and video in an effort to identify two suspects allegedly involved in the shooting.

Authorities are asking the public to pay close attention to the “facial and bodily appearances of the suspects, their gait, and the clothing that they are wearing.” The suspects are said to be dark-skinned males with dark clothing. One suspect was armed with a gun. They fled on foot down Edmund Street in Malden following the incident.

Members of the public with information that they believe may be helpful to the investigation can contact Massachusetts State Police at 781-897-6600 or Malden Police at (781) 397-7171.
