Daniel Dylan Green Jr., 19 and known as Little Danny, was fatally shot at an apartment complex near SW 44th and S. Drexel Ave in southwest Oklahoma City on July 28, 2021. The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. after Daniel and his father went outside to investigate a group in the parking lot who appeared to be breaking into vehicles. An altercation followed and one of the suspects allegedly opened fire, striking Daniel; he died at the scene while his father was unharmed. The assailants fled immediately after the shooting.

In the days after the homicide, investigators identified two suspects. Nineteen-year-old Damarco Gibbs and a 17-year-old male, whose name was not released because he was a juvenile at the time, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Daniel’s death. The family and community were left grieving a young man killed while attempting to protect his neighborhood.
