Nicholas Cane Morris was 19 when he was fatally shot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the evening of March 27, 2017. Family and friends remember him as hardworking, selfless, and funny, with a radiant smile; they say he’d help others without expecting anything in return and have pushed back against negative portrayals of his character.

The shooting occurred at the Quickie Mart Skate Shop and reportedly began during a drug deal that escalated into a violent altercation. An investigation followed and a suspect, Amadeuss Becerra, was identified and arrested. After Nicholas’s death his family donated his organs; a funeral was held on April 5, 2017, at Faith Church in Glenpool and he was buried at Green Hill Memorial Gardens in Sapulpa. A GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral expenses.
