In the autumn of 2016, a fatal confrontation at a Tulsa motel left 51-year-old Rodney McGee dead. On the evening of November 18, a gathering in a room at the Holiday Express Motel involved drinking and drug use and produced an argument between James Mahdavi and two other people, one of whom was McGee. Mahdavi was asked to leave the room earlier that night.

Around 9:30 p.m., surveillance footage shows Mahdavi approach McGee in the motel parking lot and shoot him in the head; McGee was pronounced dead at the scene. Mahdavi then fired through another motel room window, hitting 29-year-old Leroy Coleman Jr. in the neck; Coleman died two days later. Mahdavi fled but was later apprehended after a standoff and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

A jury later convicted Mahdavi of both murders, and he received two consecutive life sentences without parole. Does anyone have additional details about McGee’s life or who else was present that night?
