Albert Thompson, 64, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on September 20, 2021, at an apartment complex near Northeast 13th Street and Walnut Avenue in Oklahoma City. Officers discovered his body next to his pickup truck after neighbors reported hearing gunshots and seeing him outside his vehicle. The case was recorded as the city’s 71st homicide of 2021.

Family described Thompson as kind and generous, not confrontational and unlikely to have owned a gun; his niece Sufeesha Mathis said he would have helped anyone in need. Investigators have not announced any arrests and say the motive is still unclear, though they are exploring possibilities including robbery. The investigation remains ongoing.
