“When officers arrived, they learned there were three victims that had been shot,” said Capt. Valerie Littlejohn, Oklahoma City Police Department.

All three victims were transported to a local hospital. Concerned citizens watched as police searched the crime scene for evidence. “We know that these things don’t happen because there’s bad people,” said Jabee Williams, Live Free OKC. “These things happen because there’s a lot of unmet needs, you know what I’m saying?”

Jabee Williams came out to the scene to represent Live Free OKC, a community-based non-profit started to reduce gun violence in the city. “First and foremost are the impacted people,” said Williams. “The people this hurts. I now know what it’s like to be that person, that’s why this is so important to me.”

Williams said his role was not to intervene in an investigation but to prevent violence. “Make sure there’s no retaliation and things like that,” said Williams.  

Police were unsure if the incident involved a drive-by shooting or if the suspect was on foot. They do not have a description of the alleged shooter. “Still early on in the investigation,” said Littlejohn. “So, we’re still trying to put pieces together to figure out what led up to this event.”
