Sabrina Meier was 20 when she was found dead on the front porch of her boyfriend’s home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on September 13, 2017. She had a one-year-old daughter. Shots were heard that morning; Sabrina was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her 21-year-old boyfriend, Xavier Dixon, initially told investigators he fired through a window after being startled by a noise he thought was an intruder. He later admitted he went outside and fired additional shots before realizing the person on the porch was Sabrina. Dixon was arrested and charged with first-degree manslaughter; prosecutors later upgraded the charge to first-degree murder.

The first trial ended in a hung jury. Dixon’s bond was later reduced and he was released pending a new trial.
