Lenox Richardson, a 44-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on November 22, 2025, during a midday crime spree that began in Moore and extended into northeast Oklahoma City. Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 12:24 p.m. in the 2100 block of Northeast 26th Street near Martin Luther King Avenue and found Richardson had been shot. Investigators say a passing driver pulled up, opened fire, and sped away; police described the attack as part of a continuous series of violent incidents that day and said there was no known prior connection or provocation between Richardson and the shooter.

Authorities tied Richardson’s killing to earlier violence that began hours before in Moore, where a separate shooter wounded a man and killed 18-year-old Serenity Sandra Renee Burton just after 4 a.m., and where another man was later found unresponsive and later died. Police say the suspect in the rampage drove a stolen vehicle into Oklahoma City, carjacked a pickup near Northwest 11th Street and May Avenue, then stopped in the NE 26th and Martin Luther King area and shot Richardson. The suspect was shot and later died after a confrontation with officers on Interstate 240.

No arrests have been announced in Richardson’s killing, and investigators continue to seek witnesses and motorists who were on I-240 during the final confrontation. If anyone knew Lenox Richardson or witnessed the shootings or the pursuit, please contact the homicide tip line.
