Cesar Giovanni Lara-Flores was 22 when he was shot and killed on January 19, 2015, on the southwest side of Oklahoma City. The fatal encounter began as an altercation that escalated into gunfire; at some point during the dispute a weapon was produced and shots were fired, leaving Lara-Flores mortally wounded. Police arrived to find a crime scene with flashing lights and tape and immediately investigated who had been present and how the confrontation turned deadly.

Investigators identified multiple suspects and within days arrested two people, then a third person described in local coverage as the third person arrested for murder. For family and friends, though, arrests and a solved label do not erase the loss and the questions about why an argument ended in a young man’s death.

If anyone knew Cesar, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could add to the timeline, please share what is known.
