Our card this week is Valencia Hill, the Ace of Hearts from Kansas.

In September 2020, the 17-year-old high school basketball player was standing on his front

porch in Wichita, Kansas, hanging out with his family when he was suddenly gunned down.

For the past two years, Valencia's murder has haunted the community of Wichita as police

try to get information from the few people who may have the answers they need, including

the man that they believe to be the intended target of the shooting.

I'm Ashley Flowers and this is The Deck.

It was around 9 p.m. on Sunday, September 13, 2020.

And Sergeant Ryan Showmaker with the Wichita Police Department was sitting at home winding

down for the evening when he got a call that there had been a double shooting at a home

in the South Central neighborhood just south of downtown.

As lead detective, he threw on his suit and responded to the scene right away.

When he arrived, he was briefed by responding officers on what had happened.

A woman named Ivis and her 17-year-old son Valencia had been standing out on their front

porch along with Ivis's husband Val, her other son Trevino, and her nephew, Adonis

Daily.

That's when two unknown people approached the home.

One of them shouted, where's Adonis?

And while Ivis was trying to get Adonis's attention, the two people whipped out guns and

started firing at everyone on the porch.

Sunclier who, but someone on the porch ran inside, grabbed a gun and returned fire, while

someone else rushed into call 911.
