Kenyatta Barron, 33, was killed in Riverview, Florida on March 18, 2018. The assailant then killed their 9-year-old daughter, Ron’Niveya O’Neal, with a hatchet and stabbed their 8-year-old son, Ronnie O’Neal IV, who survived and later told detectives his father had shot his mother. Kenyatta was found unconscious in the yard and the house had been set on fire; the boy escaped the burning home with severe wounds and burns and was medevacked to a Tampa hospital.

O’Neal was arrested at the scene after a struggle and charged with multiple counts including two counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, arson, and resisting officers. Reports describe a chaotic 911 call in which Barron pleaded for her life while O’Neal made incoherent statements, and a later 911 call from O’Neal claiming he had been attacked by demons. O’Neal represented himself at trial and was found guilty on all counts.

Does anyone have information about the family’s life in Riverview before this attack or knew Kenyatta Barron personally?
