In the early hours of April 8, 2018, the life of 34-year-old Baron Lamar McCoy, a Black male, was tragically cut short in Oklahoma City. Responding to reports of a shooting at approximately 1:35 a.m., police discovered McCoy deceased inside a recreational vehicle located in the 3300 block of NE 20th Street. It was determined that he had been fatally shot.
McCoy, a father to two daughters, was known as a musician and an entrepreneur who had recently ventured into the auto body field.
He was remembered by loved ones for his loving and caring nature, often ending conversations with 'I love you,' a hug, and a kiss. A product of the Oklahoma City Public Schools system, he formed many lasting friendships throughout his life. His family and friends were left devastated by his untimely death, with one of his daughters nearing her high school graduation at the time.
Despite the passage of time, no arrests have been made in connection with McCoy's murder, and the case remains an open investigation. Authorities have urged the public to come forward with any information that may lead to a breakthrough in the case. McCoy's mother has expressed her belief that friends who were allegedly present at the time of the shooting may possess more information than they have disclosed. The lack of resolution in the case continues to be a source of frustration and pain for his grieving family, who continue to seek justice for their loss.
