Erlin Pereira Flores, a 35-year-old Hispanic man, was found gravely injured on the pavement outside the Meridian Apartments in the 4200 block of Athens Avenue in northwest Oklahoma City late on the evening of August 30, 2016. He was rushed to OU Medical Center but was pronounced dead shortly after; authorities labeled the killing as the city’s 54th homicide that year. Investigators treated the wounds as the result of a deliberate attack and conducted a neighborhood canvass for witnesses and surveillance footage.

Within a week police arrested two juveniles in connection with the case: a 17-year-old, Christopher Cottonham, on a complaint of first-degree murder, and a 15-year-old, Keland Helms, on complaints of second-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Reporting indicated one of the teens admitted involvement and said the pair had intended to rob someone they perceived as belonging to a particular ethnic background, making Pereira Flores the target that night.

Does anyone who lived near Athens Avenue in late August 2016 remember seeing or hearing anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
