In March, Clark's brother, DiJuan Marquie Clark, pleaded guilty to the July 2 murder of Hall. Reports described the murder as retaliation, with DiJuan Marquie Clark believing Hall had killed his brother weeks before. Clark faces from five to 40 years in prison on the murder charge and three years in prison on the firearms charge, according to media reports. His sentencing is scheduled for June 15.

Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Section investigated and identified Saquan Hall as the shooter in Pierre Clark's murder. The victim was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the upper body. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Inova Alexandria Hospital.
