A mass shooting inside a Muskogee, Oklahoma, home in the early hours of February 2, 2021, killed one-year-old Jalaiya Omunique Pridgeon and five others. The victims included adult Javarion Lee, 24, and four children identified as Jaidus Pridgeon, 3, Harmony Anderson, 5, Neveah Pridgeon, 6, and Que’dynce Anderson, 9. The children’s mother, Brittany Anderson, was shot and survived.

Police responding to a 911 call found a man at the scene holding a gun; that man, later identified as 25-year-old Jarron Dejon Pridgeon, fled on foot, was chased, and was taken into custody after an officer fired at him and missed. Investigators later concluded the 911 call had been made by Pridgeon. All victims and the suspect lived in the same residence; Pridgeon was the brother of Javarion Lee and the father of three of the children who were killed.

Pridgeon was charged with six counts of first-degree murder, one count of shooting with intent to kill, and possession of a firearm after a felony conviction. He had a prior deferred sentence for assault and battery in 2019 that included a court-ordered mental health evaluation. Did anyone in the community have information about the household or the children’s movements in the days before February 2, 2021?
