Deadly Edmond home invasion investigation leads to four additional arrests

U.S. Marshals and police arrested four more people in connection to a home invasion in Edmond that left one person dead and two others injured. 

The recent arrests bring the total number of those in custody to six.

Near Sante Fe and Danforth, flashing lights, police cars, and an apparent crime scene drew concerned neighbors out of their homes on January 4.

“I came over here to check out and see what was going on — the whole street was blocked off,” said concerned neighbor Rachel Bishop on the day of the incident. 

Residents learned their neighbor, Xiao Hua Wang, 61, had been shot and killed during a home invasion and two others were injured.

“I can’t imagine and it’s scary, it could have been my house,” said Bishop.      

Within days of the crime, police arrested Taurian Knight, and Robert Mayfield, Jr. who were later charged with 1st degree murder and burglary. Last week U.S. Marshals and police arrested Zamarion Blocker, Kenneth Seals, Alayjah Stewart, and Adriann Carr.

Investigators say Blocker, Knight, and Mayfield were together when they burglarized Wang's home December 31, and then again, the night Wang was killed when they returned January 4.

“My heart goes out to the whole family,” said Bishop.

Three other co-defendants were arrested on complaints of conspiracy to commit murder officials said. Investigators said cameras from inside Stewart's apartment captured all six codefendants together shortly after the murder. According to court filings an examination of one of the defendant's social media accounts showed Stewart had asked Blocker "turn himself in for the murder," after he made claims of self-defense.

Of the four recent arrests, one was tracked down in Kansas City, while the three others were arrested in Oklahoma City or Edmond.

They're awaiting formal charges.

All six codefendants remain in jail. Their bonds were denied or range from $1 million to $5 million.
