A family in Fairview was the scene of a fatal shooting in the early hours of Saturday, August 16, 2025. A 12:45 a.m. 911 call brought police to a home near East State Road and Sylvia Street, where officers found four family members with gunshot wounds. Seventeen-year-old Violet Archuleta and her 49-year-old father, David Archuleta, were pronounced dead at the scene. Violet’s obituary lists her birthdate as October 25, 2007, and her death on August 16, 2025.

Violet and David’s wife and their 13-year-old son were taken to hospital in critical condition; authorities later said the two survivors were upgraded to critical but stable as they recovered. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation assumed control of the inquiry. Early statements said there was no threat to the public and no suspects at large, and that one family member was responsible for the shooting; investigators withheld the identity of the responsible party while the case remained open. No arrests have been announced.

Fairview, a town of fewer than 3,000 residents, reacted with vigils and fundraisers and planned a memorial service for Violet on the afternoon of Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the Arts and Education Building on East Elm Street. If anyone knew Violet, her family, or observed anything unusual around East State Road and Sylvia Street the night of August 15–16, please come forward with information.
