In the winter of 2010, a man was found dead in the supposed safety of his mother's Oklahoma City home. Roger Lawrence Wayne Britt, a 51-year-old male, had been temporarily residing in his mother's garage while his nearby apartment was undergoing renovations. He had only been staying at the residence for a short period, less than a month, and was known to have had very few visitors during that time.
On December 4, 2010, Roger Britt was discovered shot to death.
The circumstances surrounding his murder remain largely a mystery. He was found in the garage where he had been living, a place that should have been a temporary sanctuary. The limited number of people he interacted with at this location has made the investigation particularly challenging for law enforcement.
To this day, the case of Roger Britt's murder is considered a cold case. Despite the passage of time, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and other cold case organizations continue to solicit information from the public, hoping that a new lead might emerge and finally bring clarity and justice for the untimely death of Roger Britt. His death remains an unsolved chapter in the city's history, a quiet life ended in a violent and unexplained manner.
