On May 29, 2021, Aidan Fincher, a 20-year-old Tulsa resident, was killed when a bullet passed through a shared apartment wall and struck him in the head. He was at home with his wife; he was a student at Tulsa Community College studying psychology, worked at an Amazon warehouse, and was expecting his first child.

Police say the shot came from a dispute in a neighboring unit that escalated and resulted in a firearm being discharged. Two people from that apartment, identified as Corey Likes and someone named Norwood, were arrested and charged with first-degree manslaughter and reckless handling of a firearm in connection with Fincher’s death. Family members described the death as an unnecessary accident.

A fundraising campaign was started to help the family and drew substantial community donations.
