1 Dead In Shooting At Oklahoma City Motel
Oklahoma City Police are investigating a homicide following a motel shooting near the Interstate 35 Service Road near southeast Grand Boulevard.
Police responded to the Executive Inn Wednesday evening.
“Officers received a call that there was gunfire in the area, the victim was found on scene,” said Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Dillon Quirk.
The victim was found inside a motel room and was rushed to the hospital. Despite lifesaving efforts police said the victim did not survive.
“Sadly, we’ve learned a short time ago the victim was pronounced deceased at the hospital,” said Quirk.
Police said the suspect or suspects fled the scene in a vehicle.
“Right now we don’t have anyone detained, no one arrested at this point,” said Quirk.
Police have not determined a motive.
“It’s still too early to determine what led up to the shooting,” said Quirk.
Police officers and crime tape secured a second-floor motel room. Police said despite several rooms being occupied, and the motel’s proximity to a busy interstate no one else was hurt.
“One victim was struck by gunfire,” said Quirk.
Police said talking to potential witnesses and gathering evidence was expected to take several hours.
“We are going to be out here sometime, processing the scene trying to figure out what happened. What led to up to the shooting, what led to the victim being shot,” said Quirk.
Police said they were working to determine a description of the vehicle involved.
Kentucky fans have been waiting all night to hear the name Otega Oweh called in the 2026 NBA Draft, and the wait is finally over. Oweh just went with the 41st pick to the Miami Heat, but his draft rights were traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. This means Oweh will be joining Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Cason Wallace, who just two seasons ago won the NBA Championship.
The Thunder still have one of the best young cores in the NBA, and now they have added to it by bringing in the Kentucky star Oweh. This season for the Wildcats, Oweh led the team in scoring, averaging 18.6 points per game to go with 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals.
When watching Oweh play, some might wonder how he didn’t go higher in the draft, but the goal for him early into his pro career will be to see if he can continue to develop his jump shot. Last year at Kentucky, Oweh shot 33.3% from deep, but fans felt a lot more confident when Oweh would shoot the three-point shot.
Oweh is a great defender who is going to thrive playing for the Thunder, who are a team that works harder than any other team on the defensive end of the floor. Oweh can be a player for the Thunder who can come off the bench and play really hard on the defensive end of the floor, taking away steals and getting to the rim.
When it comes to getting to the rim, there was no player in college basketball better than Oweh last season. He will be able to do this in the league, and if there is nothing there, he can kick the ball out to an open shooter. Being able to drive and kick in the NBA is very important, and I believe Oweh will do this at a high level.
The goal now for Oweh will be to play really well in the NBA Summer League to prove to the Thunder that he has to be on the team next season. While Oweh’s shooting issue doesn’t make him a prototypical NBA guard, BBN knows this kid can play. He will prove in the NBA Summer League that no team can stop him from getting to the rim. It will be great to see him paired with SGA and Wallace. The fit between the Thunder and Oweh makes a ton of sense, and he could make this roster.
