Jay Creacy, a 52-year-old white man, was found dead inside his southwest Oklahoma City home on the evening of September 10, 2016, after officers were called to check on a possible deceased person in the 1200 block of Southwest 33rd Street. Responding police discovered his body around 7:20 p.m. and noted injuries consistent with a homicide. Local reports later listed his killing as Oklahoma City’s 55th homicide of 2016.

Accounts summarize that two visitors, identified as Derek Keith Blacker and Anthony Loman, came that day to sell methamphetamine. Creacy’s girlfriend stepped out of the bedroom during the meeting, heard a single gunshot, and returned to see Loman running while finding Blacker still in the room near a mortally wounded Creacy. Detectives canvassed the area and appealed for information as the medical examiner and crime-scene technicians processed the home.

Within days investigators focused on those believed present. On September 13 police arrested 27-year-old Derek Blacker on a complaint of first-degree murder; on September 21 officers located 44-year-old Anthony Loman and took him into custody after an almost eight-hour standoff. By late September court records reflected that both had been charged with first-degree murder. If anyone knew Jay, saw activity near Southwest 33rd Street on September 10, 2016, or has information about the encounter, please come forward.
