Oklahoma 911 calls released from morning recent grad Noah Presgrove found dead: 'Awful odd'
Note: This post contains graphic descriptions.
Nearly a year after the body of Oklahoma teen military hopeful Noah Presgrove was found on the side of a highway, 911 calls reveal the disturbing scene two witnesses encountered the next morning.
Noah Presgrove, 19, was found dead along a rural stretch of US-81 in Jefferson County, Oklahoma, on Labor Day in 2023. He was last seen alive at a party that he attended with a group of friends that night.
A medical examiner’s report determined that Presgrove died of “multiple blunt force injuries.”
Fox News Digital obtained two 911 calls from motorists reporting what they first believed to be a deer lying on the side of the road, which was later determined to be human remains.

“It looks like someone got hit, like someone walking down the highway, they are lying on the shoulder in the road,” a caller tells the police dispatcher in one of the recordings. “Yeah, like on the shoulder, like maybe they were walking and somebody hit them. I thought it was a deer, but it looks like a body.”
The caller then tells dispatch that the scene looked “awful odd.”
Minutes later, another witness called 911 to report seeing a body on the side of the same highway in the same location as the first caller.
“I was driving to work south of Terral, and I am pretty sure someone is lying dead on the side of the road. They look naked,” the caller tells the dispatcher.

“I am sitting here blocking the road. The body is lying right on the white line,” the caller says, confirming to dispatch that it was a dead naked body. “I turned around because I just about hit it. At first, I thought it was a deer, and I was talking to a guy I work with and said, ‘I don’t think that is a deer,’” the caller says.
The second caller said there appeared to also be a piece of clothing in the middle of the road near the body.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation initially described Presgrove’s death as “suspicious,” though Presgrove’s official manner of death is “undetermined.”

What callers described to 911 dispatchers aligns with details from the medical examiner’s report.
“The decedent was found naked wearing only a pair of shoes on the side of a highway on the morning of September 4, 2023. There were no vehicle parts or debris observed on the scene. At this time, what transpired on how the body was found on the road having multiple blunt force injuries is unknown. Therefore, the manner of death is deemed undetermined,” the report reads.
The same report noted Presgrove’s cause of death was “multiple blunt force injuries” after an ATV accident earlier that night.
“Further investigation revealed that the decedent was at a house party and drinking on September 3, 2023. Then he rode an ATV ranger vehicle with several men that had a roll-over incident. The decedent was alive following the incident and returned to the party where he got into an argument with his girlfriend. The decedent left the house party and was not found until the morning of September 4, 2023, on the side of the highway,” the report continues.

Presgrove was 19 years old when he died. He graduated from Comanche High School and planned to join the military.
Presgrove’s family created a Facebook page, “Justice for Noah Presgrove,” still seeking answers nearly a year later. Rawlings said her family has no ill will toward anyone who knows what happened to Presgrove. They just want closure.
“I believe that something happened, like there was an accident and the kids got scared. Whether it was when they were doing fight club, whether it was when they were on ATVs, whether it was, I don’t know, someone got mad. I do not – I just can’t imagine someone intentionally hurting Noah,” Noah’s sister, Madison Rawlings, previously told Fox News Digital. “He wasn’t into trouble like that, and he wasn’t ever into drama like that. He was just like, whatever, you know? So, I just can’t imagine that happening.”
A spokesperson for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, which has taken over the investigation, told Fox News Digital the investigation is ongoing and would not comment further.

Armed home invasion in L.A.’s Fairfax District leaves resident assaulted
A resident was assaulted after two armed suspects forced their way into a home in Los Angeles’ Fairfax District early Saturday morning, police said.
The home invasion robbery was reported around 4:32 a.m. in the 800 block of North Detroit Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police said two suspects, both described as adult males, entered the property while armed with handguns.
The resident was assaulted during the confrontation, though authorities did not immediately release information about the victim’s injuries.
Investigators said the suspects stole jewelry and cell phones before fleeing the area in an unknown vehicle.
Video from the scene showed LAPD officers investigating outside a modern residential property as daylight broke Saturday morning. Several patrol vehicles were parked nearby while officers canvassed the area.
No arrests had been announced as of Saturday afternoon.

Woman, man found shot to death in Pomona, suspect leads officers on erratic chase
Loved ones are devastated after a woman and a man were found shot to death at a Pomona apartment complex and the woman’s boyfriend was arrested after leading officers on a dangerous pursuit.
On Friday, friends and family gathered outside the Pomona apartment complex where Veronica Lopez, 24, and Richard Brady, 48, were found fatally shot.
On June 18, Pomona police were called to the Monterey Station Apartments at 180 E. Monterey Ave. just before 3:30 p.m. on reports of a shooting.
Officers made their way up to a fourth-floor apartment hallway where they found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite life-saving measures, both were pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect and Veronica’s boyfriend, Robert Galtman, 48, had fled the scene in a Kia sedan.
Around 5 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers spotted his vehicle on the freeway and he led them on a high-speed, hour-long chase before officers successfully performed a PIT maneuver that disabled his vehicle. He surrendered and was taken into custody.
Friends and family members are devastated over the victims’ deaths and have so many unanswered questions.
“I don’t understand,” said Sheila Lopez, Veronica’s mother. “She didn’t deserve this.”
Sheila had spoken to her daughter just hours before the deadly shooting. She told her daughter she would call her later after work, but when she did, her daughter never answered the phone.
Her family later learned that Veronica had been shot and killed and that her boyfriend of several years, Galtman, was under arrest.
Lopez’s family said that Veronica was in an abusive relationship and they believe she was trying to leave her boyfriend when she was killed. They had also previously urged her to leave.
“I believe she was walking away,” Sheila told KTLA’s Lindsey Pena. “I think she should’ve just walked away. This is why this all happened.”
They also believe the other victim, Brady, was likely just trying to help her. Brady’s close friend and the mother of his child, Heather Cantu, agreed, saying helping others in a situation like that is something he would’ve done.
“I just think that if she was in an abusive relationship, that’s what he was doing,” Cantu said.
His brother told The Daily Bulletin that he was aware of Veronica’s abusive relationship.
“My brother helped her out of that situation,” he told the outlet. “They became friends. My brother stuck up for those who couldn’t stick up for themselves. Unfortunately, he walked into a situation out of his control.”
Cantu described him as a loving father to two children and a kind man and who will be greatly missed.
“We’ll all remember how happy he made everybody,” Cantu said. “He was a jokester. He was always happy and he always tried to make everybody else feel good.”
On Friday night, loved ones gathered at a growing memorial outside the Pomona apartment complex where the victims and the suspect all lived.
Sheila said Veronica was the youngest of her five daughters, who always lit up a room and brought joy to those around her.
“She’s definitely someone to miss,” Sheila said. “She’s a great skateboarder. She loves to go to games and she loves her family.”
In a GoFundMe page, loved ones said Veronica “had a way of making everyone around her feel loved and valued. The pain of losing her is unimaginable, and our hearts are broken.”
Galtman remains in custody on $3.1 million bail.
A GoFundMe page to help Veronica’s family with funeral expenses can be found here.
A GoFundMe page to help Brady’s family with funeral expenses can be found here.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to call the Pomona Police Department’s Detective Bureau at 909-620-2085.
