On the night of May 22, 2018, 26-year-old Vallen Reann Conner was sitting in her car on Fizer Street in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis when a light-colored SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Trail Blazer, drove by and occupants opened fire. Conner was struck in the shoulder and died within 15 minutes despite paramedics’ efforts. A co-worker who had just arrived was shot in the foot and survived.

Conner was born January 14, 1992, in Corinth, Mississippi, and had lived much of her life in Hardin County before moving to Shelby County. She worked as a waitress at Joe’s Crab Shack and as a barista at Starbucks, and was remembered by friends and family for singing, dancing, playing guitar, and a vibrant personality.

Investigators describe Conner as an innocent victim who was not the intended target. Detectives identified three suspects described as known gang members and obtained first-degree murder warrants for Ladarius Wiggins, Cortez Williams, and Stanley Hibbler; detectives believed two occupants of the SUV fired. No arrests have been publicly announced and the case is cold but remains an open investigation.

Did anyone in Orange Mound that night see the SUV or its occupants and can help investigators?
