Heading: Clarence Threat

Text: On the night of June 18, 1997, Andrea Noble and Clarence Threat were sleeping in their bedroom when they were awakened by a pop coming from the screen door, followed by a knock at the door. Noble went to the door and looked outside through a small window in the door, but did not see anyone. On two subsequent occasions she again heard a knock and went to the door, but did not see anyone. Sometime after the third knock, the door was kicked open. Noble went to the living room and saw a person she knew as Paul standing with a gun. Paul pointed the gun at Noble as she backed into the bedroom. When they reached the bedroom, Paul hit Noble with the back of the gun and then shot Threat in the leg. In the bedroom, Paul and Threat exchanged words and Paul shot Threat again. Threat sustained a total of seven gunshot wounds. He died as a result of a gunshot wound to the chest. The shooter told Noble that if she told anyone he would come back and kill [her] and [her] kids. At trial, Noble identified Walker as the person she knew as Paul.
