On the afternoon of Sunday, November 29, 2020, police in Enid, Oklahoma, responded to a 911 call and found 27-year-old Martika Ferguson shot to death in an alley in the 700 block of West Nagel. Her mother, Effie Ferguson, was left to tell Martika’s young son about the killing.

The Enid Police Department logged over 280 investigative hours and identified 30-year-old Shane Dale Perosi as a suspect. A no-knock search warrant executed at a West Rush residence produced evidence tying Perosi to the crime, and surveillance footage helped identify the man last seen with Martika. Perosi confessed to shooting her, saying he did it to teach her a lesson and later told booking staff he was glad he’d done so. He was charged with first-degree murder, destruction of evidence, and possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction.

If anyone knew Martika, saw her on November 29, 2020, or has information about her last movements, please come forward.
