Gregory S. Thomas, 48, was shot to death at the duplex he shared with his wife in east Tulsa on a Saturday evening in July 2017. The shooting came after an argument during which Thomas, who was in the process of moving out, reportedly refused to give his wife his keys. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his wounds.

Tulsa police focused their investigation on Thomas’s wife, Katesha Childers. She was not at the scene when officers first arrived but later returned and was taken into custody. Childers was tried, convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. An appeal raising issues such as claims of insufficient evidence and improper jury instructions was filed but denied by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in November 2019, leaving the conviction and life sentence in place.

Are there details about the evening or the couple’s situation leading up to the shooting that anyone can add?
