Russ Roberts, 60, was found dead inside a Del City laundromat on January 23, 2017, one of two people killed in what investigators have called a double homicide. The other victim at the scene was 42-year-old Nekia Jackson. Roberts had lived in Del City for four years, was born in Oklahoma City, raised in Pauls Valley, graduated from Pauls Valley High School, and worked for Premier Parking at the O.U. Medical Center. Family remembered him for planting trees and raising dogs.

Investigators later identified a person of interest and Rashawn Jones was arrested and charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths. The case experienced multiple delays tied to changes in legal representation and the COVID-19 pandemic; the prosecution’s evidence reportedly included laundromat surveillance footage and witness testimony. Nearly seven years after the killings, the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office dropped the murder charges against Jones but said the homicide investigation remains open and charges could be refiled.

Did anyone in Del City know Russ Roberts or have information about the laundromat on January 23, 2017?
