No Charges in Seneca Shooting Say Police

From Seneca Police:

On 09.12.20 at approximately 2:10am, Seneca Police responded to a shooting at Fair Oaks Apartments (1200 Fairoaks Circle) and located Charles Clark who had been shot multiple times.  Officers immediately began to render medical aid to the victim including bandages and over six minutes of chest compressions.  Emergency medical personnel arrived and undertook life-saving efforts, but the victim succumbed to his injuries.  Seneca officers immediately worked to canvass the area for suspects and witnesses until investigators arrived.   Multiple officers, investigators and other personnel assisted at the scene.  

Seneca Police investigators spent the next several days reviewing video surveillance, interviewing witnesses, suspects, and other associated individuals.  In sum, over 20 people were questioned about the incident and events leading up thereto.  Investigators reviewed several hours of video from the apartment complex where the shooting occurred. They also canvassed the area for other secondary sources of video surveillance from surrounding residences and structures.  Investigators searched several locations including apartments and vehicles.  In total, Seneca Investigators gathered approximately 400 items of evidence from various sources.

Investigators subsequently reviewed their investigation and findings with the 10th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.  Based upon thorough review of all evidence available at this time, Mr. Clark’s shooting has been deemed to be the result of self-defense and no charges are legally supported.
