Man shot, killed at NW Oklahoma City apartment complex

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Police are investigating after a man was shot and killed at a Northwest Oklahoma City apartment complex Thursday night. 

"That's sad,” said Cerone Neal, who lives nearby. “I don't know what to say right now… I can just pray for the family, that's all I can do. Pray for the victim. Hope they find justice." 

Oklahoma City Police were called to the Putnam Green Apartments near Rockwell Ave. and Wilshire Blvd. around 10:15 p.m. They found a man with a gunshot wound outside of an apartment. 

"According to the witnesses he was fixing to walk out the door, the door comes open, the suspect fires a round, the victim goes down, transported to hospital where he later died,” said Lt. Jeff Cooper with OKCPD. 

Three women who were inside the apartment when the incident happened were too shaken up to go on camera, but told KFOR the victim was only 19. 

In a release, police said it appears the teen was “involved in an armed confrontation when he was shot.”

The women in the apartment said they believe he was targeted. 

This incident comes less than a week after a 17-year-old was gunned down at a gas station about a half a mile away. 

“People are just acting crazy out here," said Adriana Watson, who lives in the complex. “It's just only going to get worse. I don't see it getting any better." 

So far, no arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Tip-Line at (405) 297-1200.
