On September 29, 2026, John Clark, III (age 57) entered a plea to Criminal Homicide – Murder of the Third Degree before the Honorable Michelle H. Sibert. The plea, which occurred with members of the victim’s family present in court, was entered one day before the one-year anniversary of the homicide. 

On September 30, 2025, Clark was driving in Lemoyne Borough, Cumberland County when he became enraged at the victim, who was riding a motorcycle. Witnesses reported that Clark was chasing the motorcycle and driving erratically immediately prior to the collision. Clark told law enforcement that the victim “cut [him] off, and [he] got a little pissed off, and [he] chased him.” Ultimately, Clark struck the motorcycle with his vehicle causing the victim to be ejected. The victim died on scene.

The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office would like to commend the West Shore Regional Police Department for their diligent and thorough investigation particularly Officer Brandon Stolley and Sergeant Christopher Conroy. Special thanks to Victim Advocate Sarah McClure for her continued work with the victim’s family.
