Tamara Clark was shot dead in Springfield on the evening of June 26, while she was sitting in a car on Oakland Street. She died the next day. The perpetrator of this heinous crime has yet to be caught and Tamara’s mother, Tangela Clark, took to the street with other mothers to demand action from the police and city officials.
Clark and her sister who organized the march, Juanita Batchelor, led families that had been affected by gun crime or supporters of their cause from the Springfield Police Department to City Hall to demand elected officials to take action to ensure safety in Springfield neighborhoods terrorized by gun violence and to provide justice to the families of those that have lost loved ones.
Batchelor, Tangela Clark’s sister created the advocacy group Mother, Overlooked, Reaching out, Empowerment, known as MORE. She started the group in 2018 after the shooting of Batchelor’s son Darrell Jenkins Jr.
They are mad a judges who keep releasing criminals.
No mention of defunding the police.
