Richard Stinson Jr., 34, was found dead at a residence near Northwest 80th Street and Northwest Echo Road in Lawton, Oklahoma, after police responded to a call from his wife on March 3, 2019. The state Medical Examiner later ruled the death a gunshot wound, and the Lawton Police Department reclassified the case as a homicide.
Friends and family remembered him by the nicknames 4 Bug and RichBoy — an outgoing, caring man who worked in music and for employers including Forever Lawn West and Hillary Communications, and who was a devoted father to his child, Darijah. His wife was arrested on March 5, 2019, on an unrelated outstanding warrant for a bogus check and was not charged in the homicide.
Police said investigators were interviewing witnesses and building timelines but did not publicly name any suspects, and no charges have been reported. Funeral services were held March 9, 2019, and he was buried at Highland Cemetery in Lawton.
If anyone knew Richard or has information about the shooting, can you share what you know with the Lawton Police Department?
