The body of 38-year-old David Lamare Atchison II was found on a roadway in southwest Oklahoma City in the early morning hours of January 8, 2017. Investigators determined he had sustained trauma consistent with a homicide and his death was officially ruled a homicide. Officers responding to reports of a body made the discovery, and no arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath.

Atchison was a U.S. Army veteran who later earned degrees in Civil Engineering and Criminal Justice. Friends and family remember him as an avid bass tournament fisherman who spent much of his free time on lakes or caring for his fishing gear. He was survived by his parents and brothers.

Reports say his ex-wife was reportedly the last person to see him alive at her home, about 15 miles from where his body was found, and that she was the beneficiary of his life insurance policies. That person of interest designation has not been followed in public by any announced arrest. Did anyone see Atchison the night of January 7–8 or have information about his movements that morning?
