Valerie Vajda, 37, was shot and killed at a San Bernardino home on Wabash Street on the morning of August 24, 2018. The attack happened about 7:30 a.m.; two women, including Valerie and 61-year-old Darlene Franken, were pronounced dead at the scene and a neighbor suffered a graze wound and survived.

Authorities arrested 41-year-old Nimeone King several hours later while he was walking near 7th Street and Medical Center Drive, reportedly carrying a loaded gun. King had been in a relationship with Valerie for about a year before they split; investigators say jealousy over Valerie’s plans to move to Florida with a new boyfriend and her six children was a factor. King was charged with the murders of Valerie and Franken and the attempted murder of the surviving woman.

Valerie’s brother, Peter Vajda, traveled from New York City to care for her children and to handle funeral arrangements; the family reported serious financial strain and the community provided support. Does anyone have information about Valerie, the neighborhood on Wabash Street, or the morning of August 24, 2018?
