On the morning of November 13, 2022, gunfire was reported at an apartment complex at 8235 N. Rockwell Ave. in Oklahoma City. Officers and associates of one unit found 34-year-old Dillard Tornes inside; he had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. His family described him as funny, courageous, and helpful; he worked in a warehouse.

Investigators later traced a TextNow contact with Tornes in the minutes before the shooting to 22-year-old Akevia Davis. Cell tower data placed Davis traveling from a Motel 6 in northeast Oklahoma City to Tornes’s apartment at the relevant time, and security footage showed a car entering the complex as Davis’s phone connected. A neighbor reported hearing a woman and two men arguing, then gunshots, and two cars were seen leaving soon after. An arrest warrant for Davis was issued and she was taken into custody around December 12, 2022, on a complaint of first-degree murder. Reports indicated investigators were looking into possible involvement by others, but no additional suspects were identified in the material provided.

If anyone has information about Tornes, the timeline that night, or the movements of vehicles near 8235 N. Rockwell Ave., please share what is known.
