3 Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide In Delaware County
Authorities are investigating an apparent murder-suicide after three people, including two children, were found dead inside a vehicle near Highway 85 and East 340 Road early Saturday.
The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of an abandoned vehicle around 6 a.m. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the bodies of Alisia Peña, 38, of Tulsa, and her two children, both under the age of 10.
Preliminary findings indicate that Peña shot the children before taking her own life. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is working to determine the official cause and manner of death.
“At this time we are still trying to determine why she was in the area, there’s no none known family or contacts of hers that are in the area.,” said Cpt. Jackie Smithson, with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say they plan to interview family members next week to determine why this happened.
No additional details are being released at this time.

Thousands of Delawareans visit food pantries ahead of Thanksgiving holiday
Turner said the need has been critical since the start of the pandemic, even with the government aid in the first few years.
“While all of those interventions that were in place, we actually saw a decrease in the number of people coming out to the food bank,” she said. “When those ended, inflation also hit. So since then, it’s just been a huge demand in our community.”
The Wilmington food pantry Gracia visited this week has been sponsored over the past six years by state Rep. Kim Williams, D-Stanton, and state Sens. Jack Walsh, D-Pike Creek, and Spiros Mantzavinos, D-Elsmere.
“It’s just a resource we want to provide to those who may need a little more extra help during the holiday season,” Williams said. “We’re happy to do this.”
Turner said while it’s the holiday season, it’s also important to remember many Delawareans are food insecure year-round. A 2022 study from Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks and pantries, shows more than 120,100 Delawareans are facing hunger, 37,680 of them are children. That means 1 in 8 people and 1 in 6 children in the First State are food insecure.
“Come January, our donations are going to drop significantly,” Turner said. “So we encourage people to keep our neighbors in mind during those cold winter months when oftentimes low-income people are choosing between heating their home or buying groceries.”
