On the night of March 30, 2024, Jose Garcia-Reyes, 33, was sitting in a pickup truck in a Tulsa mobile home park with another man, Luis Garcia. The truck was stopped on a narrow street near East Admiral Place and 121st East Avenue just after 11 p.m., and an argument over the blocked vehicle drew neighbors outside. Witnesses and police say 22-year-old Elwyn Lopez came out of a nearby home, approached the truck and opened fire, striking both men inside the cab.

Officers who answered calls found the pickup parked in the street and discovered Jose and Luis dead from gunshot wounds, one victim in the driver’s seat and the other in the back. Witness statements identifying a man who emerged from a residence led police to arrest Lopez, who was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. In January 2026 a jury convicted Lopez on both counts and recommended life imprisonment; he was awaiting a formal sentencing hearing then.

Was anyone in the mobile home park that night able to provide additional details about what sparked the argument?
