He was a member of the Michigan Department of Corrections, working at the Macomb Correctional Facility. He had 6 years of service.
Clarence was shot and killed as he arrived home at an apartment complex on at approximately 12:30 am. Officer Hammond, who was still in uniform, and his girlfriend had pulled into a parking spot next to a van with an opened door. A subject immediately exited the van and accosted the couple. When he observed Officer Hammond's uniform he struck him in the head with the gun and then shot him.
The suspect fled the scene and remains at large. At the time of this posting, police officials were unsure if this was a botched robbery or a grudge killing because of Clarence's position as a corrections officer.
