Keely Birch was 18 when he was fatally shot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the evening of June 29, 2017. An argument between two groups in the parking lot of the Addison Apartments reportedly calmed as both parties left, but the dispute resumed after 9:30 p.m. when the two vehicles returned. As Birch exited the passenger side of his car, occupants of the other vehicle opened fire and he was killed; his death was listed as the city’s 45th homicide of the year.

Tulsa Police identified three people connected to the case. Eric Lopez, also known as Eddie Lopez, was accused of being the shooter and arrested on a complaint of first-degree murder. He was found in an apartment with Jose Manuel Arzuaga-Ortiz and Lopez’s girlfriend, Dayaniara Pacheco. Pacheco was arrested on a complaint of accessory to first-degree murder, with reports saying she was allegedly trying to gather money for Lopez and herself to leave the state. Arzuaga-Ortiz was also charged as an accessory, accused of possibly deleting information from his cellphone. Lopez was held without bond; Pacheco and Arzuaga-Ortiz had bonds set at $500,000 each.

Does anyone have information about the confrontation in the Addison Apartments parking lot or the vehicles involved?
