On July 26, 2022, 5-year-old Miura Mott of Fairbanks, Alaska, was one of four children found dead from gunshot wounds in a Skyridge Drive home after officers responded to reports of shots fired. Troopers said the shooter was a 15-year-old brother who used a family firearm to kill 17-year-old Mercedes, 8-year-old Ryker, and 5-year-old Miura before fatally shooting himself. The children’s parents were not home at the time and three other siblings under seven were in the residence but were not physically harmed.

Authorities described the incident as a murder-suicide and did not identify a motive publicly. The community held memorial tributes in the days after the deaths, and online remembrances named Miura Mott, age 5.
