Court denies bond for suspect in murder of Detroit mother reported missing in 2020

Keyvonte Deshawn Clark, 31, faces life in prison for the alleged murder of Jessica Bedford, who disappeared on Mother’s Day 2020. Bedford, 24, has not been found since May 30, 2020, and her mother is caring for her daughter. Clark was charged with first-degree murder, body mutilation, and firearm offenses, with prosecutors alleging he shot Bedford and disposed of her body. During his arraignment, the defense argued for reasonable bond due to weak evidence and Clark's community ties, while the prosecution cited his past witness intimidation attempts as a reason to deny bond.
