On the evening of January 6, 2022, an apparent family massacre occurred in a home on Wendy Street in Clinton, Maryland. Officers responding to a report of a shooting at about 5:50 p.m. found 8-year-old Asa Nathan Oxley and his 44-year-old mother, Taledia Jeevon Oxley, with gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene. A third family member, Asa’s father, was also shot but survived.

Police took a 15-year-old brother into custody in the neighborhood shortly after the shooting. The teenager has been charged as an adult with first- and second-degree murder and attempted first- and second-degree murder; the teen reportedly admitted to the acts. Motive remains under investigation.

Asa was a third-grader at Melwood Elementary, described as confident and well-liked by classmates and teachers. Did anyone in the Clinton area know the family or notice anything unusual before January 6, 2022?
