15-Year-Old Arrested In Connection With SE OKC Motel Shooting
Investigators have arrested a 15-year-old after a deadly shooting on Tuesday at a southeast Oklahoma City motel.
Police previously announced they arrested 43-year-old Brandon Metcalf in the case. Metcalf, who was released from federal prison the week prior and also wanted on a federal warrant for parole violations, was still in the Oklahoma County Detention Center as of Friday evening. “When officers arrived, they found one male deceased inside of a room,” said Msgt. Gary Knight, public information officer for the Oklahoma City Police Department, on Tuesday. “It appeared he had been shot to death.”
Police said a front desk clerk called 911 for a woman who witnessed the shooting that killed 44-year-old Anthony Porter.
According to a murder warrant, the witness told police Porter was selling a gun to Metcalf and another man, who has now been identified as the teenager, when a fight broke out in the motel room. The witness saw Porter drop his gun and said Metcalf picked it up. The witness claimed she heard one shot fired but was unsure who fired it.
The witness told investigators the man with Metcalf pointed a gun at her and told her to pack her bags and leave. He allegedly threatened her life if she told anyone about the shooting.
A spokesperson for the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office said it has not been presented the case for the teenager yet, and therefore no decision has been made on whether the teenager would be tried as an adult or a juvenile.
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.
