On October 16, 2019, 29-year-old Hispanic man Renaldo Rivas was shot near Southwest 25th Street and Shartel Avenue in Oklahoma City. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds after a dispute reportedly escalated into violence.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, Isaac Billela, and believed he had left the state. The U.S. Marshals Service assisted the Oklahoma City Police Department in locating Billela in Ballinger, Texas; he was taken into custody there on a Thursday following the shooting and was extradited to Oklahoma. Billela was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on a first-degree murder charge alleging he fired the fatal shots.

Was anyone in the neighborhood that evening aware of an argument or anyone leaving the area around Southwest 25th and Shartel Avenue?
