On October 7, 2016, officers conducting a welfare check at a Southeast 43rd Street home in Oklahoma City found 31-year-old Sylvia Serrato deceased in her bed, partially covered by a blanket and with a significant amount of blood present. The medical examiner determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, and the death was ruled a homicide.

Neighbors told investigators there had been reports of suspected drug activity at the house before the killing, a detail that investigators noted but did not publicly tie to a motive. Surveillance footage from the day captured an unidentified man walking through Serrato’s backyard; that person became a person of interest but has not been publicly identified. No arrests or named suspects have been announced, and the case later grew cold.

If anyone has information about Sylvia Serrato, the man seen in the backyard, or activity at that Southeast 43rd Street residence around October 7, 2016, please come forward.
