MiKayla Dianne Blackeagle, 33, was shot and killed at a residence in Lawton, Oklahoma, in the early morning hours of April 14, 2024. A member of the Kiowa, Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, she was raised by her grandparents in Hog Creek and was a mother to two daughters, Ariyah Leigh and Jaeda Nicole. At the time she was engaged and working in healthcare as a surgical scrub technician while studying for a Certified Nursing Assistant certification; she had previously worked in the casino industry and at the Comanche Nation smoke shop.

Police say officers found MiKayla on a porch shortly after 3 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene and recorded as Lawton’s fifth homicide of the year. A witness identified the shooter as her 26-year-old brother, Joshua Ray Pedro, who was located and arrested nearby. Investigators report Pedro admitted to killing his sister and that home surveillance footage captured the confrontation and shootings. Thirteen spent shell casings and one live round were recovered at the scene.

If anyone knew MiKayla, her family, or saw activity on Southeast Alta Lane that morning, please share what was witnessed or any information that could help.
