In a heart-wrenching turn of events stemming from a domestic dispute, four-year-old Aliyah Littlejohn, a young female from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, lost her life on August 6, 2022. The tragedy unfolded after the children's mother left the family home following an incident with their father, 30-year-old Francoise Littlejohn. Reportedly upset by her departure, Francoise took Aliyah and her two siblings, six-year-old Kyren and three-year-old Trinity, from their home in the early morning hours.
In a deeply disturbing move, Francoise began a live stream on social media around 4:00 a.m. showing him in a vehicle with the children, brandishing a gun and threatening to harm them. A concerned family member saw the live stream and alerted the police at approximately 4:14 a.m. However, surveillance footage later revealed that just three minutes prior to the 911 call, at 4:11 a.m., Francoise had already pulled into a different neighborhood and parked the car. It is in this parked vehicle that police believe he shot and killed his three children before turning the gun on himself.
The grim discovery was made later that morning, around 7:25 a.m., when a runner in the neighborhood noticed the vehicle with the four deceased family members inside and called 911. When police arrived, they found Francoise Littlejohn in the driver's seat with a gun and a cell phone in his lap. His three children, including Aliyah, were also in the car, all having sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Investigators have determined the incident to be a triple murder-suicide, with Francoise Littlejohn as the sole suspect. As the perpetrator took his own life, no arrests were made in the case.
