Floyd Williams, a 45-year-old man, was shot and killed late on May 26, 2026, in northwest Oklahoma City. Police were called to an apartment complex near Northwest 23rd Street and North Portland Avenue after reports of gunfire, arriving around 10:45 p.m. Officers found Williams inside an apartment, where he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators later said Williams had been involved in an altercation with another man before the shooting.
What began as some kind of confrontation inside the apartment turned deadly when Williams was shot, leaving police to piece together what happened in the moments before officers arrived.
The person suspected in the shooting fled before police reached the scene. Authorities did not publicly identify the suspect, release a description, or announce a motive beyond the reported altercation. Early reports said no suspect information was available, and a follow-up from police confirmed that no arrests had been made.
Williams was later identified publicly by authorities, and memorial records also described him as having been lost to gun violence that same night in Oklahoma City. As of the available reports, the case remained open, with Oklahoma City police asking anyone with information to contact the department’s Homicide Tip Line at 405-297-1200.
