On the evening of July 25, 2023, a drive-by shooting in the 1400 block of East Park Place in Oklahoma City left 25-year-old Don Rose dead. Rose and another man, 32-year-old Jackie Crenwelge, were walking when a vehicle approached and one or more occupants opened fire. Rose was pronounced dead at the scene; Crenwelge was struck but survived.

The Oklahoma City Police Department classified the killing as the city’s 46th homicide of 2023 and launched an immediate investigation. Detectives later identified a suspect and, a little over two weeks after the shooting, arrested 23-year-old Steven Truitt. He was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on a complaint of First Degree Murder. The investigation is ongoing and prosecutors are preparing the case for trial.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the victim, or the events that evening, please come forward to assist investigators.
