On the night of May 16, 2026, 26-year-old Enrique Chavez was shot and killed at an apartment complex in the 2100 block of SW 38th Street in Oklahoma City. Police responded shortly after 10:30 p.m.; Chavez, a Hispanic male, was found with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man was critically injured and taken to a local hospital.

Investigators say a disturbance in the parking lot escalated, and someone brandished a rifle and opened fire. The motive for the altercation is unclear. The Oklahoma City Police Department’s homicide unit took the case and listed Chavez’s death as the city’s 27th homicide of 2026.

In the days after the shooting no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests were reported. Police asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Tip-Line. Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Enrique have information that could help the investigation?
