On the evening of June 14, 2012, gunfire in the Windsor Village Apartments parking lot in northwest Oklahoma City left 16-year-old Khaleeq Landon dead. Neighbors reported hearing multiple shots around 9:45 p.m.; residents found Landon, an African American male, suffering from a gunshot wound to his stomach. He was taken to OU Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators initially had no suspect or clear motive, though acquaintances mentioned possible gang connections and Landon’s history of non-violent felony arrests. Witnesses later identified 20-year-old Deante James Hawthorne as the man who shot Landon and fled. A first-degree murder warrant described Hawthorne as 5 feet 11 inches, about 200 pounds, with several distinctive tattoos. U.S. Marshals arrested him in Ozark, Alabama, on June 24, 2012, and he was extradited to Oklahoma; the Oklahoma County District Attorney charged him with first-degree murder on July 3, 2012. A key witness, Gregory Martin, initially agreed to testify but later refused to cooperate.

Does anyone have information about Khaleeq’s last evening or about witnesses who were at Windsor Village Apartments that night?
