UPDATED: A Woodbridge man was formally charged Monday with second-degree murder in connection with the March 18 fatal shooting of a Marine outside a local night club.
Horace Gene Clark, 28, of the 15000 block of Mendoza Lane in Woodbridge, is being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center after a court appearance Monday morning.
Clark is charged in connection with the March 18 shooting death of Kalin Javon Robinson, 25, a Marine who lived in Stafford County.
Robinson was identified as the suspect in the shooting by several witnesses as well as surveillance video at the Babylon Cafe, where the shooting occurred around midnight on Thursday, March 25, according to court charging documents.
Clark was arrested on Saturday, March 27. Police have not released a motive for the shooting but have said it was not random.
Clark was already facing felony drug charges in connection with an Oct. 29, 2020, incident during which police allegedly found a substance believed to be fentanyl in his possession, according to court documents.
Clark was previously twice found guilty of driving without a license in 2019 and 2018. In 2014, he was found guilty on charges of misdemeanor assault and destruction of property, for which he spent a month in jail, according to court documents.
Clark is due in court again in April on the drug charge and in May on charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with the fatal shooting, according to court records.

The nightclub parking lot has been the scene of two homicides and at least one other shooting in the past year.
On Jan. 23, a 27-year-old man was shot in an altercation outside the Babylon Café at about 9:25 p.m. that night. James Lawrence Gregory, 34, of Dumfries, was arrested March 19 by the U.S. Marshal’s fugitive task force in connection with the shooting, police said.
The victim survived the gunshot wounds, but police have not released details about the extent of his injuries.
Last Christmas Eve, police were called to the club to investigate shots fired from a truck in the parking lot. At the time, a restaurant employee told police he observed a person fire a round into the air before driving away in a large white truck.
There were no injuries in that incident, but the suspect's truck hit an unoccupied vehicle in the parking lot as it left, police said.
On July 24, 2020, Charlie Davis III, 28, of Dumfries, was killed in a stabbing outside the club. Police have since arrested and charged a Woodbridge man in connection with that incident.
Attempts to reach the Babylon Cafe for comment were not immediately successful Saturday, March 25.
