Valanesha Washington was 19 when she was shot and killed in Oklahoma City during the early hours of New Year’s Day 2015. Her home had been targeted in another shooting in the two weeks before her death, creating an atmosphere of fear that preceded the fatal assault.

A development came quickly: an arrest in connection with Washington’s murder was reported on January 4, 2015. The motive for the repeated targeting of the residence and for the homicide has not been disclosed in public reports. If anyone knew Valanesha, lived near that home, or has information about why the residence was targeted, please share what you know.
