In the early morning hours of June 14, 2019, a dispute at an apartment complex in Cache, Oklahoma, turned deadly, ending the life of 26-year-old Nathan Morrow. Morrow, a male and a member of the Comanche Nation, was shot and killed following the altercation. When law enforcement arrived, they found his body outside his residence, and he was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation joined the Cache police in the ensuing homicide
investigation, which quickly led them to three suspects. Within a short period, investigators arrested 19-year-old Devon Julian Cannon, 20-year-old Shannon Marshawn Freeman, and 19-year-old Bre'lon Kyle Tylan Johnson. All three were taken into custody and held on first-degree murder complaints in the Comanche County Jail.
Over the following year, the three men faced justice for their roles in Morrow's death. In June of 2020, Bre'lon Johnson pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree robbery. He received a life sentence for the murder and an additional 15 years for the robbery. The following month, both Devon Cannon and Shannon Freeman pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Each man was sentenced to serve 30 years in prison for their involvement in the fatal shooting.
