Riki Renee Amix, 42, was killed by a gunshot during a domestic disturbance at her Boswell, Oklahoma, home in the early morning of January 24, 2023. Family members had called her sister for help around 1:20 a.m. as the dispute unfolded. Investigators say family members disarmed Chase Lane Rocha twice during the incident; he returned a third time armed with a revolver and the fatal shot occurred while someone was attempting to disarm him.

The shooting happened inside the Choctaw Nation Reservation in Choctaw County and was investigated by the FBI and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Lighthorse Police. Rocha, 21, was arrested and charged locally with second-degree murder by the Choctaw Nation. A federal jury later convicted him of involuntary manslaughter in Indian Country and he was sentenced to 60 months in prison.

Does anyone have information about the moments leading up to that early-morning disturbance or about Riki’s life in Boswell?
