Two men were shot on the southwest side of the city, and police said one victim did not survive.

Calls to 911 came in on Sunday just after 3 a.m., according to police.

Dispatch:

“It’s going to be a calling party saying they’re hearing a bunch of gunshots.”

The disturbance came from the Will Rogers Court near Southwest 15th Street and Westwood Boulevard.

Dispatch:

“On that ADW call they said there’s a subject that was arguing with somebody in a red shirt.”

When officers arrived at the scene, they found 26-year-old Tommy Lewis shot multiple times.

“Sadly, that person was transported to an area hospital and passed away.”

While officers were at the hospital another shooting victim showed up to be treated. They identified him as 21-year-old Dajaun Davis.

“He gave an initial story that was not true explaining how he got shot,” Davis said. “It was clear to the investigators that he was one of the people shot in that same incident, but he would not pass on information to the police. He was not willing to cooperate.”

Police said without critical eyewitness information they were unable to get a description of the shooter.

“At this time the suspect is still at large,” Msgt. Gary Knight with the Oklahoma City Police Department said. “We have not identified that person.”

Call the homicide tip line at (405) 297-1200 to report information related to the shooting. Tips from the public can remain anonymous.
