James Sumner Jr., 52, was killed in a robbery-related shooting at the Colonial Park Apartments in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the early hours of September 16, 2020. Officers responding to a reported shooting near 21st and Memorial found Sumner with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators identified two suspects, Andre Roberts and Candace McGrew. Officials say McGrew had been with Sumner the previous day and knew he was expecting money, and that McGrew and Roberts conspired to rob him. The robbery escalated and Sumner was shot. Both Roberts and McGrew were arrested and charged with first-degree murder; court filings show Roberts later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, assault and battery, and possession of a firearm after a prior felony conviction.
