Police are investigating a homicide at an OKC motel
Police are investigating a homicide that occurred during a shooting at a local motel.
Oklahoma City police Lt. Jeff Cooper said a bystander, 25-year-old Christopher Price, was shot during a fight that broke out about 6:45 a.m. Friday at the Oxford Inn, 5301 N Lincoln. Cooper said Price, who did not appear to be involved in the dispute, was shot when he was trying to move away from the skirmish and take shelter.
Investigators believe the altercation broke out on the second-floor landing of the motel, when one of the involved parties pulled out a pistol and fired it. Cooper said Price was shot in the chest and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The police spokesman said police have conducted several interviews regarding the shooting as part of an ongoing investigation. There have been no arrests in the case.
Police are encouraging anyone with information regarding the shooting to call the homicide tip line at 405-297-1200.
