Tacono Conner, 36, was fatally shot in the hallway of a second-floor apartment at 5201 S. Union Street in Des Moines just before 11 p.m. on Sunday, December 27, 2015. Police found Conner in the hallway; a 37-year-old woman, Ami Stolki, was also shot and survived. Conner was a husband and father of seven children, four boys and three girls; his wife, Misty, described him as a great husband and the family was left awaiting answers as detectives opened their investigation.

Investigators identified a person of interest and focused on 63-year-old Des Moines resident Alf Freddie Clark. A material witness warrant was issued, and Clark fled the state. Authorities later received information placing him back in Des Moines, reportedly driving a small red pickup and possibly disguising himself as a woman. Clark was located and arrested in Tucson, Arizona, by the U.S. Marshals Service and charged with first-degree murder; plans were announced to extradite him to Des Moines to face the charge.

If anyone knew Tacono Conner, witnessed activity around 5201 S. Union Street that night, or has information about Clark’s movements before his arrest, please come forward.
