Leon Hamilton, 69, known as Gooney to family and friends, was shot and killed inside his Midwest City, Oklahoma, apartment on the afternoon of November 10, 2020. Officers were called to the Sandhills Apartments in the 1400 block of North Midwest Boulevard around 2 p.m. after reports of a possible domestic disturbance and gunshots; Hamilton was found with a gunshot wound to his chest.

Detectives recovered a cellphone near Hamilton’s body that did not belong to him. Witnesses heard Hamilton arguing with a woman before at least two shots were fired and observed a woman walking away from his breezeway immediately afterward. Surveillance footage showed a woman returning to her residence shortly after the killing. The phone was traced to 42-year-old Oletah Anglin; police say Hamilton’s phone was later recovered in her home and neighbors reported Anglin saying she and a friend had just killed someone and that she needed a ride.

An arrest warrant for first-degree murder was issued and Anglin was taken into custody on November 14, 2020. The case was described as ongoing while investigators continued to gather evidence and interview witnesses.
