On the first day of the new year, a tragic and violent series of events unfolded in Oklahoma City, leading to the death of 37-year-old Kevin Lee Henry. The incident, which has been characterized as a murder-suicide, also resulted in the death of the primary suspect.
The investigation began on January 1, 2017, when police were called to a residence in Del City to check on the welfare of an individual. Upon their arrival, they discovered Kevin Henry, a male, deceased inside the home.
It was determined that he had been the victim of a homicide, having sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
As investigators began to piece together the circumstances surrounding Henry's death, a suspect was identified as Reginald Gildersleeve. Police located Gildersleeve at a separate location, where a tense standoff ensued. Despite efforts to negotiate a peaceful surrender, the confrontation ended when Gildersleeve took his own life.
Further investigation into the homicide led to the arrest of a second individual, Brandon Jackson. He was taken into custody and questioned by police regarding his alleged involvement in the events leading to Kevin Henry's death. Jackson was subsequently booked into the Oklahoma County Jail as an alleged accomplice in the murder. The specific details of his alleged role in the crime have not been widely publicized. The motive for the murder has also not been officially released by law enforcement.
