In the late hours of Thursday, July 23, 2026, 43-year-old Myron Cooper was shot after a dispute that began inside Sunni B Sports Bar and Grill near NE 63rd St. and I-235. Cooper called 911 saying he had been shot and was found near SE 15th St. and I-35, miles from where the encounter started. He was taken to a hospital, underwent surgery, and died the morning of Friday, July 24, 2026. His death was listed as the 42nd homicide in Oklahoma City for the year.

Detectives say the incident began after an interaction inside the club between Cooper’s wife and 54-year-old Berry Russell Jr., which Cooper perceived as inappropriate. A Facebook Live stream reportedly captured Cooper and his wife arguing. The confrontation continued in the parking lot, where an initial fight was broken up. Russell later told police he had his wife bring him a firearm, and when Cooper allegedly chased and struck him as Russell tried to re-enter the bar, Russell fired, striking Cooper in the chest. Cooper drove away wounded and made several stops before stopping where police found him.

Russell called 911 to report the shooting, surrendered to officers when located, and turned over his firearm. He was arrested and booked on a complaint of first-degree murder. The case is described as an isolated incident with the suspect in custody. Did anyone witness the confrontation in the parking lot or the Facebook Live stream of the argument?
