Delola Hammond, 41, was found mortally wounded inside the Oklahoma City home she shared with her husband, David, on June 30, 2009. Emergency responders had been called after a shooting; initially David told police two unknown men forced their way in and shot her during a home invasion. Investigators soon found details that did not fit that account. A gun holster was found on the bedroom floor and firearms recovered from a trash can outside the house were tested; one matched a shell casing from where Delola had been shot. Those discoveries undercut the intruder story and redirected attention to people inside the household.

Prosecutors described the killing as domestic violence followed by an effort to disguise the truth. In 2011 David Hammond pleaded guilty to second-degree murder as part of a plea agreement and was sentenced to a 35-year term with 10 years suspended. Delola’s life is recorded now in brief memorials and the official account of a fatal shooting at home. Does anyone have information about Delola’s life, her relationships, or what led up to that night?
