Valerie Macon, 60, of Pomona, California, was shot and killed at her home on San Bernardino Avenue on July 12, 2022. Officers responding to reports of a shooting found Macon wounded on her porch; she died at the scene. A relative of hers suffered minor injuries in the same incident.

Investigators identified her 62-year-old ex-boyfriend, Darnel Dwight Haley, as the primary suspect and released information on his vehicle, a 2009 tan Kia Spectra, as they sought public help locating him. The next day Haley was found dead in his car in Rialto with a gun in his lap.

The shooting was believed to be connected to a recent breakup between Macon and Haley. Anyone with information about the events leading up to the July 12 shooting or who saw the 2009 tan Kia Spectra in the area is asked to come forward.
