Kozee Decorah, Ashlea Aldrich and Lenice Blackbird

In a tragic sequence of events that has sent shockwaves through the Omaha region, three Native American women have been brutally murdered. The victims, Kozee Decorah, Lenice Blackbird, and Ashlea Aldrich, were beloved members of their communities, their lives cut short in acts of unfathomable violence.

The murders have sparked outrage and raised important questions about the safety and protection of Native American women, who are disproportionately affected by violence. As the investigations into these heinous crimes unfold, it's crucial to shed light on the systemic issues that perpetuate such tragedies.

These women were more than just victims - they had dreams, aspirations, and a deep-rooted connection to their culture. They were integral parts of their families and communities, and their loss has left a void that can never be filled.
