Darlene Franken, 61, was shot to death on August 24, 2018, at a residence on Wabash Street near Sierra Way in San Bernardino, California. She was found dead alongside 37-year-old Valerie Vajda; a third woman at the scene suffered a graze wound.

The suspect was identified as 41-year-old Nimeone King, who had recently ended a relationship with Vajda. King was arrested several hours after the shooting while walking near 7th Street and Medical Center Drive and was carrying a loaded firearm. Authorities linked the attack’s motive to the breakup.

Family and neighbors remembered Franken for her kindness and generosity. Who has memories of Darlene or information that could still help clarify what happened that morning?
