Joshua Francis Seavert was 32 and living in Lawton, Oklahoma, when he was shot in the early hours of January 29, 2019. Around 3 a.m., a 911 caller said her boyfriend and her brother had been shot at a house near Jesse L. Davenport Avenue and Southwest Bishop Road. Two wounded men were found at separate locations along the street; both were taken to the hospital and Joshua was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The other victim was hospitalized in unknown condition.

Lawton police identified Johnny Ray Jones that same day as the person they believed had shot the two men and warned he should be considered armed and dangerous. Jones was located and arrested later that afternoon in Cyril. Comanche County booking records list charges tied to the incident including first-degree murder, reckless conduct with a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and driving with a canceled or suspended license, with offense dates matching January 29, 2019.

Joshua was a Lawton native, a 2005 Lawton High School graduate, an Army veteran who served two tours in Iraq, and a father of three. Funeral services with military honors were planned. Does anyone have information about Joshua’s final hours or the events at that house that morning?
