Late on the evening of Saturday, May 16, 2026, a group in Woodson Park in southwest Oklahoma City found the body of 36-year-old Kayron Winters in the 3200 block of S. Independence Avenue. Initial responding officers determined Winters, a Black male, had been shot to death; the case was classified as a homicide and recorded as Oklahoma City’s 28th for the year.

Homicide detectives canvassed the area and opened an active investigation, but details about what happened before the shooting are scarce. No suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified, no motive has been announced, and no arrests or charges have been made. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Tip-Line at 297-1200.

If anyone was in or around Woodson Park that night or knows anything about Kayron Winters’ last movements, please come forward with what you know.
