Eniya R.H.A. Aeon was 27 when she was killed on the evening of April 3, 2013, inside a Days Inn room along the Interstate 35 service road on southeast Oklahoma City. Police were called just before 6 p.m. after guests and staff reported gunshots and a disturbance; officers forced entry and found Eniya and 40-year-old Rasheen Sanders both dead of gunshot wounds. Investigators concluded Sanders produced a firearm during an argument, shot Eniya, then turned the gun on himself, and the incident was recorded as Oklahoma City’s fifteenth homicide of 2013 and classified as a murder-suicide with the primary suspect deceased.

Eniya was described by neighbors and family as a mother, a student attending college, and someone juggling work in retail and sales while raising two young sons, Kazin J. Aeon and Delanee D. Galberth. She was born June 27, 1985, in Oklahoma City to MaQiba Aeon and Michael Onyeje and was the sister of Ebony D. Cooks and Essence G. Aeon. Those who knew her recall her watching over neighborhood children and trying to get her life on track.

Does anyone have information about Eniya’s life, her sons, or the events that led to the motel confrontation?
