On the evening of January 17, 2017, 23-year-old Christian John Chancey was found dead from a gunshot wound in the parking lot of a Braum’s restaurant in Edmond, Oklahoma. Chancey, described as an electrician and a musician, had been involved in an altercation with another man shortly before witnesses heard gunfire.

Witnesses reported seeing the suspect flee in a white vehicle described as a Nissan or a Sentra. Police arrested 33-year-old Anthony Adams Millan on January 19, 2017, in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors said the meeting between Chancey and Millan had been arranged as a drug transaction that escalated into the fatal confrontation, and witness testimony played a role at trial.
