On the morning of December 17, 2016, firefighters responding to a house fire on Northwest 80th Street in Oklahoma City found 41-year-old Julia Mason and her 7-year-old son, Keagen Bruce, in a downstairs bedroom. Julia was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering a brutal attack; Keagen was alive when taken to a hospital but died later that day.

Investigators determined the blaze was deliberately set to conceal a violent crime. The medical examiner’s report described both victims as having been severely beaten and stabbed multiple times; Julia sustained more than a dozen stab wounds to her torso and skull, several broken bones including a broken jaw, and investigators suspected possible sexual assault. Gasoline was reportedly poured on Julia’s body before the fire. Keagen had been repeatedly stabbed in the skull and beaten.

Police identified a man who was a suspect in the rape of an elderly neighbor as a person of interest in the double homicide, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Julia or Keagen, or has information about that night, please come forward.
