In the early morning of October 7, 2022, 24-year-old Brianne Nicole Torres was found inside an apartment at 8235 N. Rockwell Avenue in northwest Oklahoma City with a fatal gunshot wound. Police discovered her after a shooting call just after 1:00 a.m.; the case was recorded as the city’s 61st homicide that year.

Officers took a suspect into custody at the scene, 24-year-old Rana Sievert, identified as Torres’s romantic partner. Investigators say Sievert told them the two had been drinking and smoking marijuana, that she became paranoid and a fight broke out, that she retrieved Torres’s gun from the bedroom and shot her once, and that she later attempted to partially dismember Torres’s leg with a kitchen knife. It is reported that more than an hour passed before 911 was contacted. The suspect was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center; the charge was initially first-degree manslaughter and later upgraded to first-degree murder.
