On the evening of February 3, 2016, 26-year-old Chameeka Harris was shot and killed in northeast Oklahoma City in a double shooting that also took the life of 25-year-old Kendre Demond Smith. Authorities described the incident as a double shooting that left families and the community reeling.

The investigation produced an arrest: prosecutors charged Jamar Mordecai Simms and in 2018 he was convicted of felony murder for both deaths and given two consecutive life sentences. In October 2021 the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals reversed that conviction by a 3-2 decision, concluding the record suggested Simms acted as a buyer rather than a distributor in an alleged drug transaction, and that distinction undermined the felony murder theory based on drug distribution. The court allowed a new trial to go forward on an alternative theory that the killings occurred during a robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Does anyone have information about Harris’s last known movements or the people she was with that night?
