On the morning of October 28, 1997, twelve-year-old Samantha Satha Zayzay was asleep in her Tulsa home when a vehicle slowed outside and shots were fired into the house. One bullet entered the room where she slept. She was taken to a local hospital and died three days later from her injuries.

The Tulsa Police Department opened an investigation into what was described as a drive-by shooting. Suspects were later identified, but the charges against those individuals were dismissed. The case is now listed with the Tulsa Police Cold Case Unit and remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about Samantha Satha Zayzay, the vehicle or the shooting that morning is asked to contact the Tulsa Police Cold Case Unit.
