Terron Hall, a 49-year-old Black woman, spent the afternoon of February 22, 2024, riding in the passenger seat of a pickup truck with a man she had been dating for about six months, as their relationship was coming to an end in northwest Oklahoma City. According to investigators and court records, the two argued in the truck about breaking up and how to divide their belongings, a conversation that escalated into a confrontation with a gun while they were driving near the 3800 block of North Ann
Arbor Avenue, in the Warr Acres area of the city.
Witnesses later told police and described in court that, during the argument inside the truck, the man produced a firearm and shot Hall in the head as she sat in the passenger seat. After the gun went off, he allegedly turned the weapon toward two bystanders, pointing it at them without pulling the trigger, before driving away from the immediate scene. A short time later, around 3 p.m., he pulled into the parking lot of a CVS pharmacy at Northwest 39th Street and MacArthur Boulevard, where an off-duty officer from The Village Police Department happened to be present. The driver jumped out, calling for help and telling the officer that the woman in his truck had been shot, prompting an urgent call for Oklahoma City police and paramedics.
First responders found Hall critically wounded and rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was placed on life support. For nearly a week, she remained in critical condition as detectives worked to piece together what had happened inside the truck and along North Ann Arbor Avenue. Late in February, investigators were notified that she had died from her injuries, transforming what had begun as a domestic assault investigation into a homicide case. The Oklahoma City Police Department classified her death as the city's eleventh homicide of 2024, marking another life lost to gun violence on the city's northwest side.
Even before Hall's death was formally recorded, attention turned to the man who had driven her to the pharmacy. Police identified him as 61-year-old Leroy Glaze and arrested him on February 22 on complaints of domestic assault and battery with a deadly weapon, as well as assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for allegedly pointing the gun at a witness. In interviews with detectives, court documents later revealed, Glaze admitted that he and Hall had been arguing after their breakup and that a gun had been drawn during the dispute; he claimed they wrestled over the firearm when it discharged and struck her. Once Hall died, authorities announced that the complaint against him would be amended to a charge of first-degree murder, reflecting their belief that the shooting inside the truck was not an accident but a deadly act of domestic violence.
Over the next year and a half, the case moved through the Oklahoma County court system until it reached a jury. In November 2025, prosecutors presented evidence that Glaze had shot Hall during the heated argument while she sat defenseless in the passenger seat, then pointed the gun at two witnesses before leaving the scene and only later pulling into the CVS lot to seek help. The jury found Glaze guilty of first-degree murder in Hall's killing and recommended a life sentence; formal sentencing was scheduled for December 17. In a statement following the verdict, Oklahoma County District Attorney Vicki Behenna emphasized that the case was a stark example of intimate partner violence, thanking the jurors for delivering what she described as justice for Hall and expressing sympathy for her loved ones as they continued to grieve the loss that had begun with an argument in a truck and ended in a homicide that shook their community.
