A Detroiter who killed a man outside a Southfield gas station could be out of prison in five years, as sentenced Wednesday by Oakland County Circuit Judge Nanci Grant.
Convicted of voluntary manslaughter at the conclusion of a brief jury trial in January, Gregory Anthony Clark, 67, was sentenced to 6-15 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections for the death of Eddie Fisher Clora, 64. Jail credit of 365 days was applied.
He was also ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution.

Clora died at Henry Ford Providence Southfield Hospital on April 12, 2025 after a fight with Clark outside a BP gas station at Eight Mile and Lahser roads. The two men were reportedly friends.
Clark turned himself in to police four days after the fight.
Clark received an enhanced sentence as a four-time habitual offender, court records show. Restitution of $8,000 was ordered.
A charge of second-degree murder — which carries a penalty of up to life in prison — was dismissed.
Clark is in the Oakland County Jail, awaiting transfer to the state’s prison system.
