My name is Shannon. It was Shannon Wilson at the time, but I've since married. I lived at 2512 Elon St. The small yellow house right next door to Shawna's. 71.71.250.195 (talk) 12:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC) Srb4271 (talk) 19:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Hi Shannon, my name is Stephanie from the Midwest(Ohio).[reply]

To the girl who corresponded, may I ask your name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.25.12 (talk) 15:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Srb4271 19:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Thanks for adding his picture at Wikipedia.[reply]

Srb4271 01:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Mr. Wallace has serious issues with himself. He's very misogynistic and violent. Regarding Shawna, according to trial transcripts, he claimed that Shawna playfully teased him about his then-girlfriend Sadie McKnight and another woman. He didn't like that at all. He carried such anger in his heart that he went looking for Shawna in January.[reply]

As for the police, they could have done a better job in the investigation regarding the home invasion of your house in 1993. Like you said, they didn't give a care about poor Black people. Had they done a thorough investigation and arrest of the perpetrator, Shawna and seven other young Black women would have been alive today. So, I blame the police for not stepping up the plate in the investigation.

I have two memorials of Shawna Denise Hawk on the internet. There's a memorial page called Labellashawna and a Find-A-Grave tribute to the saintly Shawna Denise Hawk. Be sure to look at my drawings I created in her memory.

May God bless you and have a nice evening.

Regards,

Stephanie B.

I agree with you about him getting what he deserves. I will never forget the look on his face when he came to my door, he was cold and he didn't care. I didn't attend the funeral. I was only 10 at the time and I went and stayed with my grandmother while my parents packed us up and moved us away. In my opinion the police really bumbled this one. For example, when our home was broken into, I called my mother, and she called 911, it took the police nearly 45 minutes to arrive at our home, and they did NOTHING, no dusting for fingerprints, no nothing. Mr. Wallace wasn't exactly careful with his crimes, he could've been caught sooner, had the police tried harder. So many young women's lives could've been saved. Once again, merely my opinion but they didn't care because the victims were black and came from poor neighborhoods. Our neighborhood, off Camp Greene Street and Freedom Drive, was as poor as they come, but we were tight-knit. Shawna was an angel. She came to me at a time when I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I intentionally wouldn't get on the bus because I was afraid to go home, and she stepped up to the plate and helped me, and I'll never forget that. She is greatly missed.69.132.222.193 04:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Srb4271 23:56, 8 July 2007 (UTC)To the young woman who contribute to this talk, thanks. For him to come around your area stalking beloved, saintly Shawna and many other young Black women, it makes my skin crawl thinking about it. I'm glad this man got death for his evil he had wrecked many families in Charlotte and divided the city for years. I've just added your story to the Henry Louis Wallace article I created. Do you have any more information or story regarding Dee's saintly daughter, Shawna Denise Hawk? Did you attend her funeral? Did the police ever talk to you regarding Ms. Hawk's death? How did the police and the public handled the revelation of a serial killer in its midst? I'd like to hear from you soon.[reply]

Not sure if you'd find this significant enough to add or not but a month before Shawna was killed in January, a man (later identiified as Mr. Wallace) kicked open the door to my home. I was Ms. Hawks' next door neighbor. I was in 5th grade at the time and home alone. The person rang the doorbell and knocked several times. I didn't answer of course, and he became agitated and kicked the door open. From what I've been told, it was later determined that he was looking for Shawna, and came to the wrong home. He ran around the back of my house and jumped over the fence. It was a month later that he returned and killed her. After our home was broken into, Shawna offered to watch me afterschool, so I wouldn't be home alone. I stayed with her everyday after school for two weeks. She would watch me until one of my parents got home from work around 5pm. In early February I went to her house as usual and she didn't answer the door. She didn't watch me anymore after that. There was never an explanation for why she stopped watching me, but she was killed two weeks after. Mr. Wallace came during the time that I would've been there with her. I've always wondered if she knew he was capable of something and she was concerned for my safety. I ended up staying with a different neighbor, until my family moved in March after she was killed. 71.71.241.247

Sources and references

This article had no inline references. I reviewed the Lapeyre article and referenced the article to it as appropriate. There were several de minimis date discrepancies, and I elected to conform the article to Lapeyre's chronology. There is a wealth of other detail that should be verified, but other than the Seattle Times article and a short article about Wallace's marriage in prison, I wasn't able to find any of the various newspaper articles referred to by previous editors. There's plenty of work to be done if anyone feels inclined.Tkotc (talk) 20:43, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
