James Clark Charged in Fatal Waldoboro Shooting of Levern Kelley
WALDOBORO, Maine – The quiet Midcoast town of Waldoboro is reeling after the tragic death of Levern Kelley, 53, who was shot multiple times in her home last month. Court documents reveal that Kelley suffered 12 gunshot wounds, a shocking and violent end that has left her family, friends, and neighbors struggling to comprehend the loss.
Investigators say Kelley had warned co-workers that if she failed to show up for work, it could mean she was in danger, suggesting she feared the violence that ultimately took her life. Police also report that the suspect, James Clark, allegedly told a friend he wanted to see Kelley “drop” and that “she’ll get hers.”
Clark was later apprehended in Florida and extradited to Maine, where he now faces murder charges. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Kelley’s death, but court filings and witness statements indicate a premeditated and personal motive.
The community has responded with shock and sadness, with many expressing their condolences to Kelley’s family. “Levern was a valued member of our town, known for her kindness and dedication to her work,” said a local resident. “It’s devastating to know someone in our community could commit such a violent act.”
As the case moves through the legal system, residents are hoping for justice and answers. Kelley’s family has asked for privacy while they grieve, but her story serves as a stark reminder of the importance of community vigilance and support in the face of senseless violence.
