Frank Hayworth, a 24-year-old Black man from Oklahoma City, was shot to death during a brief, violent encounter inside a house in the northeast part of the city on the night of July 3, 2007. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Hayworth inside the residence mortally wounded; no suspect was in custody at that time. Early indications from police described the killing as appearing gang-related and investigators believed Hayworth had been deliberately targeted rather than struck by random crossfire.

Detectives rapidly developed leads and within days focused on 32-year-old Alfonzo Bullock Jr., also known by the street name Ace, a man described by authorities as having a long history of drug and weapons convictions. A first-degree murder warrant was obtained for Bullock, and the search for him continued for months. In May 2008 Oklahoma County sheriff’s deputies located and arrested Bullock at a house in northwest Oklahoma City on the outstanding warrant, booking him on a first-degree murder allegation in connection with the July 3, 2007 killing.

If anyone knew Frank, witnessed events that night, or has information about what happened inside that northeast Oklahoma City house, please share what is known.
