What happened to Caroline Conner?
According to a press release, Conner was on foot in a parking lot when she began arguing with a man and woman in a white Mercury Sable. After the verbal argument, the suspects drove to the back of the complex but came back to the front and hit Conner “at a high rate of speed,” police say.

Slack said she didn’t realize what was happening until the incident was over.

She added, “It’s sad that somebody lost their life for nothing.”
