Some very sad news from the Lone Star state.

KFDX (Wichita Falls) says that Anchor Shatanya Clarke has died.

Clarke was just 27-years-old.

The station says that Clarke had been battling brain cancer but was optimistic about upcoming medical treatments.

Clarke joined KFDX in August of 2018 as a News Reporter and moved into the anchor chair last year.

“Shatanya was a bigger-than-life spirit,” said News Director Adam P. Bradshaw. “Her wit and personality could brighten anyone’s day. She had a passion for telling stories in a way that really hit home. To say our family and this community will miss her is the understatement of the year.”

FTVLive sends our condolences to her family and the newsroom.
