On April 11, 2022, Rickia Deon Crawford, 31, was shot and killed outside the Crossings at Minshall Park Apartments near 81st and Sheridan in Tulsa. Police were called to reports of a naked man firing an assault rifle at the complex. The man, identified as Dwayne Jackson, was in a relationship with Crawford.

Officers arrived to find Crawford and Jackson’s mother attempting to calm the man. Crawford placed herself between Jackson and the officers and pleaded with them not to shoot. Jackson then aimed the rifle at Crawford and fired a single, fatal shot to her chest at point-blank range. Two officers returned fire and struck Jackson. Both Crawford and Jackson were taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead. The two officers were placed on paid administrative leave pending investigation.

If anyone at the Crossings at Minshall Park Apartments that evening saw what happened or has information about the moments before the shooting, please come forward.
