Luke Hutchinson, 21, was shot to death on October 11, 2024, inside his RV near 125th Street and Maguire Road in the Noble and Slaughterville area of Oklahoma. Hutchinson, a Lexington resident, died of multiple gunshot wounds in what authorities describe as a deadly robbery.
Two people were arrested in connection with the killing: 26-year-old Bradley Banister and 16-year-old Avery Weiser, both charged with first-degree murder. Court documents say Weiser and Hutchinson had fought weeks earlier and that Weiser had threatened to return and kill him. Witness statements and court records allege Weiser came back to the camper that night with Banister; accounts from the suspects differ. Weiser said Banister gave him disposable gloves, that a fight broke out, and that Banister shot Hutchinson in the back several times. Weiser admitted bringing a gun but said he was unsure if he fired it and claimed Banister accidentally shot him in the leg.
Banister initially denied knowing Weiser, then changed his story after learning witnesses had seen them together. He denied participating in the robbery and said he did not own a firearm because he was a felon, but deputies later found shell casings, a makeshift firing range, and a pile of clear disposable gloves at his home. Both suspects remain in custody; Banister had a preliminary hearing set for November 19.
If anyone in the Noble, Slaughterville, or Lexington areas has information about Hutchinson’s movements or the events of October 11, please come forward.
