A tow truck driver fatally shot 38-year-old Clarence King during a vehicle repossession confrontation in the 100 block of Carolina Avenue in Fort Lauderdale on September 22, 2022, according to WSVN and NBC 6 South Florida. Witnesses said King was unarmed and barefoot, having apparently just gotten out of bed, and his young daughter was a few feet away when he was killed.
