On July 7, 2011, 13-year-old Charles Glenn Conant was fatally shot inside his family’s mobile home in Wheatland, Wyoming. During the same early evening attack, his brothers Joseph Raymond Conant, 11, and Everett Eugene BJ Conant IV, 18, and their 33-year-old uncle Nacuma Roland Conant were also killed. Their mother, Suzette Ann Conant, was shot in the ankle and upper arm, survived, and was treated at a hospital in Cheyenne.

Police responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire and screaming and arrived shortly after. Everett E. Conant III, the boys’ 35-year-old father, surrendered after a short standoff and was arrested. He was charged with four counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and unlawful possession of a deadly weapon; in June 2012 he entered a plea of no contest to the murder counts and received five life sentences.

The shootings devastated the small Wheatland community; neighbors held a candlelight vigil at the high school, about 200 people attended a communal funeral service, and a barbecue fundraiser was organized to help Suzette Conant with expenses. If anyone knew Charles Glenn Conant or has information about that night, please come forward.
