Braylee Ann Owens was killed in the early morning hours of March 15, 2023, in her Tulsa, Oklahoma apartment two days before her 20th birthday. She was lying in bed with her boyfriend at the Cobblestone Apartments when multiple gunshots were fired into the second-floor bedroom window; a bullet struck Braylee in the head and she was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital. The boyfriend was not physically harmed.

Braylee was born in Tulsa on March 17, 2003, and grew up in nearby Broken Arrow, where she played soccer and cheered. Described as outgoing, she enjoyed pulling pranks, liked babies, music, and spending time with friends and family. She graduated from Epic in 2021 and worked as a receptionist.

Three suspects were identified and arrested in connection with the shooting: 19-year-old Sytney Sinan was charged with first-degree murder and shooting a gun from a vehicle; 18-year-old Braylon Brown and 15-year-old Cameron Green later turned themselves in to the Tulsa County Courthouse. Authorities have not released a definitive motive and have said they do not believe Braylee was the intended target. If anyone knew Braylee or has information about what happened that night, please share tips with investigators.
