On October 7, 2020, a domestic disturbance in Tulsa near Pine and Peoria ended when 32-year-old Chantel Anisha Dean and her 16-year-old niece Na’Veha Alexander were found shot to death inside a home. Police were called shortly after 4 a.m.; the initial 911 call came from one of the children in the residence. Several other children in the house were physically unharmed.

Family at the scene identified Chantel and Na’Veha and named Chantel’s boyfriend, Howard Peeples, as the suspect. Officers located and arrested Peeples not far from the scene later that morning. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, and investigators reported the shooting followed ongoing relationship problems between Peeples and Dean.

A jury later convicted Howard Peeples of both murders and recommended life in prison. Chantel Dean was a mother of three; her father has taken responsibility for raising her children. If anyone knew Chantel, Na’Veha, the household, or has information about that night, please share what you know.
