Donovan Jamal Moncree, a 23-year-old Black man born March 11, 2001, was shot and killed in Lawton, Oklahoma, on the evening of Tuesday, April 23, 2024. Officers responded around 9:30 p.m. to a reported shooting in the parking lot of the Bel Air apartments in the 600 block of Southwest Bishop Road. Moncree was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

An early witness reported seeing two unidentified men flee the area after the shots. The Lawton Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for information. Within a week investigators identified Derrick Lyles and Jacavion Johnson as suspects; both men went to the public safety building to speak with detectives and were then booked into the Lawton City Jail. Prosecutors charged both with first-degree murder. The case later went to a jury, which found them guilty and recommended life in prison, concluding the investigation.

If anyone knew Donovan, saw activity near the Bel Air apartments that night, or has further information, please share what you know with investigators.
