Horrible news. The fact that Clarence’s condition is “unclear” gives me a worse feeling, though:

He's uninjured. From the L.A. Times:

Very sad news. Just last week, I was watching Mr. Avant be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.

Yes, what a titan he is..."The Black Godfather." And Jacqueline, in her own way, was a quiet, benevolent force as well.

Awful News!! My condolences to Clarence Avant, His Family & Friends at the loss of his wife Jacquline.

Just remembered: this could go into the Motown Forum as well, since Clarence became chairman of the board in '93...

I believe an arrest was made... Interesting that a security guard was apparently on duty at the time...
