Alize Ramon Smith, 21, known as Gutta Twin, and his friend Jarron Keonte Moreland, 21, were reported missing from Oklahoma City on April 14, 2018. Their disappearances ended four days later when dismembered bodies were found submerged in a pond in the city on April 18, 2018, following an initial report of a possible abduction.
Investigators charged four people in connection with the killings. Brett Boettler, then 16, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder. His brother, Kevin Garcia-Boettler, 22, faced a charge of accessory to second-degree murder. Their mother, Crystal Boettler, and her boyfriend, Johnny Shane Barker, were charged with accessory to second-degree murder, unlawful removal of a dead body, and desecration of a human corpse.
Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to treat the deaths as hate crimes, a decision that prompted protests and criticism from activists who pointed to the racial dynamics involved. If anyone knew Alize, Jarron, or saw anything in Oklahoma City around April 14–18, 2018, please share what can help the case.
