On the evening of November 13, 2017, 26-year-old Giovanny Portugal was shot near the intersection of S.W. 37th and Portland in Oklahoma City during a violent altercation that erupted into gunfire. Emergency crews found 15-year-old Erica Bradberry dead in a front yard; Portugal was transported to a hospital with critical gunshot wounds and died shortly after. A third person, 22-year-old Jassiel Castro, was also wounded and survived following emergency surgery.

Investigators quickly linked the shooting to a conflict between rival gangs. Two men, Luis Gerrado Ortiz and Armando Neri (known as Porky), were arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Portugal and Bradberry, plus one count of assault and battery with a deadly weapon for Castro’s injury. Court filings and witness statements placed Neri at the scene; his criminal history noted prior convictions including methamphetamine offenses, stolen property, firearms offenses, DUI and cocaine possession with time served.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or knew Giovanny, Erica, or the other victims that could help clarify what happened that night?
