Previous Oklahoma crimes
Last October, authorities said an Oklahoma man is wanted after allegedly shooting a Cleveland County deputy and injuring and killing a motorist with a stray gunshot Wednesday morning.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI) and other law enforcement agencies are looking for Kameron Jenkins, 25, who was last seen on Interstate 35 south of Paul’s Valley.
The deputy was shot at the 60-mile marker on I-35 after an attempted traffic stop that evolved into a pursuit, according to officials.
The deputy was airlifted from the site to a nearby hospital, where he was said to be in stable condition.
An innocent driver was also injured, apparently by a stray gunshot fired by the perpetrator as he was shooting at police. The driver has now died.
Jenkins is described as a black male who stands around 6-foot-4 and weighs between 170-200 pounds. He was last spotted wearing a white shirt and having black dreadlocks.
Jenkins is considered armed and dangerous, according to the Oklahoma State Highway Patrol, and he may be in possession of a semi-automatic firearm.
Anyone who sees Jenkins is encouraged to call 911.
According to FOX 25 in Oklahoma City, investigators believe Jenkins is in the back of a white trailer being hauled by a black pickup vehicle.
His criminal history includes a dismissed maiming accusation in 2015, assault and violence in 2017, for which he pleaded guilty, and DUI and drug charges in 2019.
According to Choctaw police, the 16-year-old victim was shot in the crotch, and no suspect is in custody.
Police in Choctaw, Oklahoma, reported a teenager died after a gunshot at a high school football game on Friday night that injured numerous others.
Around 10:30 p.m. Gunshots were fired on the visitor’s side of the stadium on Friday, with only four minutes left in the third quarter of the Choctaw High School vs. Del City High School football game.
During a news conference, Choctaw Police Chief Kelly Marshal stated that four people were injured in the incident, with at least one of the casualties being a student. Marshal also stated that another individual was treated for a probable fractured leg.
A 16-year-old male victim was shot in the crotch and died as a result of his injuries.
He was not a student at either school, according to the police, but before his name is revealed, authorities want to talk with his family.
A 42-year-old male was wounded in the chest as well and was taken to Oklahoma University Trauma, where he spent the most of the night in surgery. According to authorities, the unnamed victim has been sent to the ICU and is in stable condition.
Del City Police Chief Lloyd Berger stated that an off-duty Del City police officer was engaged in the incident and discharged their firearm when the gunshots were heard.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office is heading the investigation into the officer-involved incident to establish whether any people were hit by the officer’s gunfire.
Choctaw police reportedly said that a young female was shot in the thigh and treated and released, and that two other females, thought to be students, suffered broken wrists and a broken leg while attempting to flee the location.
The investigation into the killing will be led by the department, with assistance from the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office and Del City Investigators.
Investigators discovered two weapons and eight bullets while investigating the scene. Although no suspect has been apprehended, detectives have published a description of a person of interest, who is described as a tall black guy wearing red sweatpants.
According to police, the Uvalde Foundation for Kids, a charity organization created in the aftermath of the Uvalde Texas School shooting, is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect who fired rounds during the football game.
“Someone knows something in a stadium full of spectators and students,” National Director Daniel Chapin stated in an email. “Do the right thing and say something.”
In the news release, Chief Marshal Chapin repeated Chapin’s call for anybody with knowledge regarding the shooting to contact the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office.
