27-year-old woman shot in head, dropped off at fire station with only a bra on, dies

Another “sweet” woman has lost her life, due to a man.

Detroit, Michigan – A woman died after being dropped off at a fire station while suffering from a gunshot wound, and now her grieving family wants justice.

On Monday, at 12:45 a.m., a man who said he was on the way to the store when he saw the woman — later identified as Clarita Poole, 27 — lying on the ground, and drove her to the fire station, according to the police report.

“From there she was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.”

It’s unclear who the witness is or whether the witness knew Poole.

Poole’s family rushed to the hospital when they learned she’d been taken there, her sister, Sharita Poole, told Fox 2 Detroit.

“We really didn’t recognize her at first,” she told the news outlet.

“She had a gunshot wound in the back of her head,” she said. “She wasn’t breathing on her own, she was completely on a machine.”

Clarita Poole got to the hospital “with just her bra,” Sharita said. “She wasn’t clothed at all, so we don’t know if she was raped.”

Clarita was taken off life support and died.

Sharita Poole said she believes she knows who killed her sister.

“It was a murder. She was purposely hurt. She was murdered,” her sister said.

“I just want her to know that we’re not going to stop, we’re not going to sleep until we find out who did this to her,” she said.

“She didn’t deserve this. My sister didn’t do nothing to nobody ever. She was nice to everyone she came into contact with. She didn’t have no problems with anybody. So I’m not understanding how somebody could take her life like that. Like she didn’t matter.”

Clarita’s family says she was dating a man who was physically and emotionally abusive. He would often threaten her and they believe he is somehow connected to her death.

“She has so many friends, because she always put everybody for herself. ” Her sister Sharita wonders if her unwavering love for others is what caused this. “We tried to warn her from the very second about this guy. It was a murder. She was purposely hurt.

From his social media, you can just tell her’s not a good person. Sharita says that the man would often post photos of Clarita on social media and threatened to have her gang raped. Sharita says that the man used Clarita for her money, with Clarita even buying him a car.”

Sharita says her sister didn’t tell them much, because she knew the family didn’t like him, and didn’t want her around him.

Sharita Poole set up a GoFundMe page to help the family pay for funeral expenses.

“We are the family of Clarita who was murdered on Detroit’s West Side on 7/27,” it reads. “She was only 27 years old, and the sweetest person to anyone who crossed her path. We decided to start this fundraiser in support of our mother to help with her bills while she is on leave from work.

“We are also looking to use funds for funeral arrangements and the repass. Any amount donated is greatly appreciated and will go a long way for our family. Please pray for our strength and justice for Clarita.”
