Veteran dies months after throat-slashing attack

Jacksonville, Fl. — The family of Melvin Clark tells us that after months in the hospital, Clark has died.

The 86-year-old veteran was sent to the hospital after he was kidnapped, robbed, and had this throat slashed back in April. 

3 people were arrested following the crime in April, Ray Jones, Jennifer Schulte, and Douglas Cercy.

Investigators say that the 3 people lured the veteran from Neptune Beach to the Westside, robbed him at gunpoint, beat him in the woods and then drove off in his car.  All three are still behind bars in Jacksonville facing multiple charges. Murder charges have yet to be added.

The State Attorney’s Office says they are not commenting at this time whether upgraded charges will be filed against the suspects.
