Sister of Parkway Place murder victim says brother had 'heart of gold'

"He made sure that they were either smiling or whatever they needed if he had it, he was going to give it to them."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The front steps of the porch at Parkway Place is now the site of a makeshift memorial with stuffed animals replacing police tape to remember the man who lived there, who was shot to death outside his home.

"He's my big brother. He's supposed to be protecting me. For somebody to do that, for what?" Danielle Marshall said. "It hurts. It hurts like hell because they didn't have to do him like that."

Marshall said her brother, Terrance Clark, 47, was not known for causing trouble in the neighborhood.

"This right here wasn't supposed to happen at all, not even a little bit," she said. "Why do you got to keep picking up these guns? For what? Because you're scared?"

Marshall said Clark had a "heart of gold." She said he was always taking care of his family and those who lived in the Parkway Place community.

"He made sure that they were either smiling or whatever they needed if he had it, he was going to give it to them," she said.

"That's the way he was brought up," George Fields, a family friend, said. "He wasn't brought up here to take no life. He was brought up to do what he could for people who weren't able to do it for themselves."

Marshall said her family is now looking for answers as they seek closure in their brother's death. She is asking whoever killed her brother to turn themselves in.

"We forgive you but we just want justice for my brother, for my sisters and brothers, for his kids," she said.

LMPD has not made any arrests in the case. Anyone with information is asked to contact police through the anonymous tip line at 574-LMPD.
