Entertainer recalls ‘infectious smile’ of shooting victim
SAN DIEGO — Monique Clark was remembered for her infectious smile by her friends, including entertainer Nick Cannon who wrote on social media that “tears can’t express the pain and shock” that she was gunned down over the weekend in a mass shooting at an apartment complex in San Diego.
The 35-year-old mother of three was the lone person killed by a gunman who shot seven people at a poolside birthday bash Sunday. Police said the shooter was despondent over a recent breakup with a girlfriend.
Cannon, who grew up in San Diego, posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Clark laughing and sitting on stairs when they were young.
“Such a beautiful spirit with an infectious smile,” the former host of TV’s “America’s Got Talent” wrote. “I have nothing but wonderful memories of this Angel.”
