Aneta’s death devastated her loved ones and continues to highlight the pain and uncertainty faced by families affected by unsolved murders.
The Night That Changed Everything
Aneta and her common-law husband, JC Hunkins, were visiting her sister’s house in a quiet North Tulsa neighborhood. What began as a typical evening quickly spiraled into tragedy.
Roughly 30 minutes after they arrived, Hunkins reported hearing noises at the back door, suspecting a break-in attempt. In a moment of panic, he shouted at two individuals outside and fired a shot, though he initially denied firing when questioned by police. He later admitted to the warning shot, a detail that remains part of the ongoing investigation.
A Deadly Shooting and a Community in Shock
Around 30 minutes after the initial commotion, two unidentified individuals opened fire on the residence, discharging eight rounds. Aneta, who was sitting on the floor talking on the phone, was struck by a bullet that pierced through the wall and door, hitting her in the head.
Despite immediate medical intervention, Aneta succumbed to her injuries six days later at Hillcrest Medical Center.
Her sudden and violent death sent shockwaves through her family and community, leaving a lasting impact that is still felt today.
Unanswered Questions and a Chilling Pattern
Adding to the mystery, just three days before Aneta was shot, the same house was targeted in an attempted break-in. In that incident, three individuals forced entry but left without stealing anything. This previous attempt suggested a possible targeted motive, though no clear connections have been confirmed.
On the night of the shooting, the two suspects fled the scene in an older model Plymouth vehicle. Despite extensive efforts by law enforcement, their identities remain unknown, and no concrete leads have emerged in the decades since.
A Family’s Long Fight for Justice
Aneta’s mother and brothers have spent more than 30 years searching for the truth and demanding justice. Their grief is compounded by the uncertainty surrounding her murder and the lack of closure.
