On the evening of July 7, 2021, gunfire at the Arden Park Apartments in Northwest Oklahoma City left two men dead: 20-year-old Eddie Ferreira and 26-year-old Alex Garcia. Police responded around 6:56 p.m. and found both victims deceased. Ferreira was identified as a Hispanic male.

Investigators say the confrontation involved members of Ferreira’s family. Reports indicate Garcia arrived at his sister Elizette Ferreira’s apartment allegedly armed with an axe. Eddie Ferreira and his cousin Sergio Marquez reportedly kicked down the door. During the chaos, Garcia shot and killed Eddie Ferreira. Video footage is said to show Elizette Ferreira chasing Garcia with a knife while Sergio Marquez fired as Garcia fled; Garcia was found with a cut to his neck and multiple gunshot wounds.

Elizette Ferreira, Sergio Marquez and Carlos Marquez were arrested and charged in connection with the killings. The deaths were recorded as Oklahoma City’s 42nd and 43rd homicides of 2021.
