Dequelon Trevaune Penn, 26, was shot and killed early on October 3, 2018, at the Sunset Plaza Apartments in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Known as Tuggie, he was a father of two, a Will Rogers High School alumnus with a carpentry degree from Job Corps, and remembered for his love of dancing and music. That night he was with his girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend, Jessdun Markham; witnesses said the men were talking and smoking marijuana when Markham suddenly produced a gun and shot Penn multiple times. Neighbors called 911 and Penn’s girlfriend alerted police around 12:30 a.m.; officers found Penn deceased on arrival.

Markham, 27 at the time, was taken into custody shortly after the shooting. He approached a security guard, confessed to the killing, and later was found on the roof of a nearby YMCA, where Tulsa authorities and the Fire Department apprehended him. During questioning he admitted to the shooting and led investigators to the firearm, recovered from the roof of a building in a park. He was charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm possession; he told investigators he had become paranoid and believed the marijuana might have been laced, causing him to think Penn was reaching for a gun.

Does anyone have information about the events at Sunset Plaza Apartments that night or knew Dequelon Penn?
