Maziah A'Chelle Sea'On Brown

Age 7

Tulsa, Oklahoma

She was a "precious little angel"

A second-grader at Discovery School, she was “smart, outgoing,” and a “precious little angel.” 

She was a member of the St. Brown Baptist Church and loved Christian rap. She had a passion for helping the needy and “always knew how to put a smile on your face.” Her favorite stuffed animal was a dog named “Snicky.” 

On Oct. 14, 2018, Maziah A'Chelle Sea'On Brown, 7, was shot to death in her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, along with her brother and father. After the triple shooting, the home was set on fire.
