In a quiet Broken Arrow, Oklahoma neighborhood, a devastating scene unfolded on May 10, 2023, forever altering the lives of a local family. On that Wednesday morning, police were called to a home in the 2500 block of West Honolulu Street for a welfare check, a request initiated by a concerned family member. Inside, they made a grim discovery that sent shockwaves through the community.
Officers found 48-year-old Annette Michelle Hammock and her 17-year-old son deceased inside the
residence. Annette, a female, was just one day shy of her 49th birthday. Her son was a junior at Broken Arrow High School, where he had been a student since childhood. The promising life of the young man and his mother were tragically cut short.
Also present in the home was Annette's 50-year-old husband, Phillip Jason Hammock. He was found with what authorities believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition and placed in police custody. The investigation into the double homicide immediately focused on him as the primary suspect. Due to an unspecified tribal component, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was called in to assist the Broken Arrow Police Department with the case.
Following his release from the hospital, Phillip Hammock was arrested and faced the consequences of that tragic day. He was charged with two felony counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of his wife and son. A bond was set at one million dollars for each count, reflecting the severity of the allegations against him. The community was left to mourn the loss of a mother and her child, their lives taken in an act of domestic violence that shattered the peace of their suburban neighborhood.
