Dwyane White, 53, was found dead from gunshot wounds inside his Oklahoma City apartment in the early hours of Saturday, March 2, 2024. Police responded to reports of a shooting at an apartment complex on 7000 W. Britton Road and discovered White deceased in one of the units. The death occurred on a day that followed his recent birthday.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a domestic dispute with Allen Dudley, 31, who shared the apartment and was at the scene when officers arrived. Court documents and a witness account indicate Dudley allegedly began slamming doors while White slept in the living room, then shot White in the back and fired again as he approached. Two 911 calls were placed from the residence before the shooting; the first caller reportedly claimed a rape, and a second call 17 minutes later reported the shooting. Officers recovered a live round, four spent shell casings, and a firearm believed to be the weapon; the victim was reportedly unarmed.

Dudley was taken into custody at the scene and booked on a complaint of First Degree Murder. This is listed as the city’s 12th homicide of 2024; the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone knew Dwyane White, his movements, or has information about the events at the Britton Road apartment, please come forward.
