Police seek public assistance in investigation of fatal shooting
By Zaya Williams
Law enforcement authorities are seeking assistance from the general public in gathering information related to the demise of 32-year-old Clifford Micah Watt from Greenbay.
Watt met a tragic end when he was fatally shot at his residence on the morning of December 5.
The incident unfolded subsequent to an altercation in Gray’s Farm, in which Watt was allegedly involved.
The details of the disagreement remain unclear, but unverified reports suggest that Watt engaged in a verbal dispute with another individual during the earlier incident. Following this exchange, the other party reportedly left the scene.
Approximately an hour later, assailants arrived at Watt’s residence and unlawfully entered sometime after 9 am.
They proceeded to open fire, striking him five times and leaving his home riddled with bullet holes. Despite being swiftly transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center, Watt, a father of three, was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
As the investigation into this tragic incident continues, law enforcement urges anyone with pertinent information to reach out to the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS/8477.
