A welfare check at a westside Oklahoma City apartment in spring 2022 led to a homicide investigation. On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 26, officers were dispatched to 5001 N.W. 10th Street and found 22-year-old Miguel Alexis Rivera Del Angel inside; he appeared to have died from a gunshot wound. The Oklahoma City Police Department classified the death as a homicide, the city’s 27th that year.

Investigators described the inquiry as being in its early stages in initial reports. In the days after the discovery no arrests had been announced and the case remained open and active. Anyone with information about Miguel’s death is asked to contact the Homicide Tip Line.
