Matthew Vincent Locastro, 27, died of a gunshot wound on Friday, January 5, 2024, in Miami, Oklahoma. The shooting occurred near Second Avenue NE and H Street after an argument among multiple people escalated into violence.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement identified 34-year-old Travis Christian Wilbur as a suspect. Wilbur was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in late January 2024 and booked into the Craig County Jail.

Court testimony later presented conflicting accounts. Some witnesses described a struggle over a firearm between Locastro and Wilbur that produced the fatal shot; Wilbur’s defense said he acted in self-defense, alleging Locastro entered a garage and assaulted Wilbur with what the defense called a gun. A judge dismissed the murder charge after a Stand Your Ground hearing.

If anyone saw the argument near Second Avenue NE and H Street that night or has information about what led to the altercation, please share what is known.
