Elyria, Ohio–-On August 31, 2022, 30-year-old Bonita Wright claimed that she woke up and found her boyfriend 28-year-old Keyron Ficklin unresponsive and cold. Bonita immediately ran to a neighbor's home to borrow a phone to contact the police, but the night before Keyron and Bonita got into a heated argument when she confronted him about rumors that he was cheating on her. Bonita admitted that she was intoxicated and couldn’t remember the details of what happened that night. Police were called to the home regarding that particular incident, but no one was arrested. 2 hours later, Keyron would be dead. The couple’s relationship started out toxic and ended that way and they were together for less than a year. Bonita claimed self-defense, but what would be uncovered over the course of the investigation would question whether or not this was a true self-defense case.
