In the early hours of a Friday in Oklahoma City, the life of 32-year-old Mark Anthony Harjo was tragically cut short. On April 6, 2018, police were called to the Plaza Inn, a motel located at 4300 S. Interstate 35 Service Road, following reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, officers discovered Harjo inside one of the motel rooms, suffering from a gunshot wound.
