Shomari Ray Parks, 35, was fatally shot in southeastern Oklahoma City on June 29, 2017. Emergency personnel transported Parks to a local hospital after finding him with a gunshot wound, but he later died of his injuries. The Oklahoma City Police Department opened an investigation, marking the city’s 37th homicide of the year.

Homicide detectives focused their inquiry in the days after the killing and identified 26-year-old Dayton Lister as a person of interest. On July 5, 2017, an arrest warrant for first-degree murder was issued for Lister, and he was located and taken into custody that same day.

If anyone in southeastern Oklahoma City that late June evening saw anything or has information about Parks or the events leading to his death, please come forward.
