In the fall of 2014, the life of a young man, Nicolas Neal Scott, was tragically cut short in Oklahoma City. The 23-year-old male was the victim of a homicide on October 1, 2014. Born Nicolas Aweyo on June 23, 1991, in Kenya, he was adopted by American missionaries as an infant. He spent his early years in Tanzania before his family returned to the United States, eventually settling in Oklahoma.
Details surrounding the circumstances of his death indicate that Scott was found in a
northwest Oklahoma City residence. The quiet life he was known for was brought to a sudden and violent end. For a period, he had experienced homelessness after facing difficulties with his citizenship documentation.
Following the discovery of Scott's body, an investigation was launched by local law enforcement. Their efforts led to the arrest of a suspect in connection with the homicide. News reports at the time confirmed that an arrest had been made in the northwest Oklahoma City killing. While the motive and the specific events that transpired remain part of the official record of the case, the apprehension of a suspect marked a significant development in the investigation into the death of Nicolas Scott.
