Armani Keon Combs was 16 when he was shot and killed at his northwest Oklahoma City apartment complex on June 23, 2020. Family accounts and witnesses say Armani had been sitting on the stairs that afternoon when another teenager arrived looking for Armani’s 12-year-old sister. An argument escalated into a physical struggle, and witnesses reported the other teen produced a gun; a single shot struck Armani on the stairwell. Police and emergency responders were called about 1:40 p.m.; Armani was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly afterward.

His mother, Kristy Combs, organized a GoFundMe titled Justice For Armani and described him as someone who didn’t bother anybody and who died protecting his sister. Armani Keon Combs was born February 2004 and buried at Riverside Gardens Cemetery, survived by his mother, siblings, grandparents and other relatives.

If anyone knew Armani, was at the apartment complex that day, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
