Lisa Oanh Nguyen, 59, was shot and killed on Saturday, July 20, 2019, during an armed robbery at her family’s business, Steelman Grocery, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The store was a long‑running local business and the killing prompted a vigil there the next evening as the community mourned.

Police asked the public for help after a suspect was seen driving a Nissan Altima. Investigators later arrested two people in connection with the murder and robbery and charged them with capital murder.

The fatal attack cut short the life of a woman described as kind and dedicated to her community. If anyone has information about the robbery or the vehicle seen at the scene, please share what is known with the Hattiesburg Police Department.
