On the evening of November 27, 2023, gunfire in a Northwest Oklahoma City neighborhood left 47-year-old Matthew Brooks dead. Police responded shortly before 6:30 p.m. near Northwest 10th Street and Meridian Avenue and found Brooks inside his van with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to OU Medical Center and later pronounced dead. His death was recorded as the city’s 69th homicide that year.

Initial details about motive and the number of people involved were unclear. Neighbors reported hearing about five shots. Investigators used surveillance footage, Flock cameras and cell phone records to track a white Dodge Ram pickup from Guymon, Oklahoma, to the scene. Police say three men conspired to kill Brooks; surveillance from a Hinton casino showed the suspects together hours before the shooting.

Two men were arrested in Guymon on December 7, 2023, and a third was later apprehended elsewhere. Did anyone in Northwest Oklahoma City notice the pickup or the men in the days before November 27, 2023?
