Milan Rose Ardoin, 28, and her mother Valinda Rose Scott, 55, were fatally shot in their Antioch home on Delta Fair Boulevard in the early morning of July 5, 2018. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots at about 4:20 a.m. Milan was a mother to a 4-year-old son, Mason, and was active in local youth and education organizations.

Investigators concluded the women were targeted by Milan’s boyfriend, Dontay Javon Williams, 40. Williams reportedly went to the home that morning, shot both women, and fled. His wallet was found near the scene and later became key evidence in the case. Williams was later found guilty of two counts of murder, with enhancements for intentionally discharging a firearm and lying in wait.

Milan’s sudden death profoundly affected her family and community and underscored the deadly consequences of domestic violence. If anyone knew Milan, Valinda, or saw activity near Delta Fair Boulevard that morning, please share information that could help others connected to the case.
