Casey Wright was 19 and from Oklahoma City when he was fatally stabbed in the courtyard of a south Oklahoma City apartment complex near South Agnew Avenue and Southwest 55th Street on the night of April 20, 2013. Officers found him gravely wounded shortly before midnight; he was taken to OU Medical Center and did not survive. Family and friends described him as a decent, kind young man who acted as a big-brother figure and left behind a young son.

Witnesses and investigators said a fight broke out in the courtyard and that someone produced a knife during the struggle. Within days, arrests followed: on April 25 a 17-year-old, Armando Hernandez, was taken into custody on a complaint of first-degree murder; an 18-year-old, Isabel Ledezma, was also arrested and accused of involvement; and on May 10 the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-year-old Harry Garcia Jr. as a third suspect. The homicide was later listed as solved. If anyone knew Casey or saw activity at that apartment complex on April 20, investigators asked for information.
