Kevin Alexander Theard, 35, was found dead in his Claremore, Oklahoma home early on a September Sunday after a single gunshot ended a relationship that had been fueled by alcohol and cocaine the night before. His girlfriend, Crystal Stanfield, was arrested and charged with his murder after she initially told police she had intended to kill herself and that Theard grabbed the handgun during a struggle, causing it to fire accidentally.

Investigators reported physical evidence at the scene that conflicted with Stanfield’s account. Theard was discovered in bed in a position that appeared as if he were asleep, and blood patterns were said to be consistent with a gunshot sustained while lying on his back rather than during a scuffle. Officers say those inconsistencies prompted Stanfield’s arrest after she contacted a relative who called the Claremore Police Department.

The shooting was Claremore’s first homicide of the year and left a grieving family remembering Theard as warm and easy-going. Does anyone have information about Kevin, his last known movements that night, or anything that could clarify what happened?
