Johnathan Stephens was 27 and a father when he was killed outside his Tulsa home on June 25, 2016. He was shot near his front door during an attempted carjacking that followed a string of violent incidents in the area.

Police say two teenagers, Emmitt Sam and Nathan Simmons, were responsible for a series of violent crimes that night and earlier the same evening, including a carjacking in Broken Arrow and the robbery of a couple in east Tulsa. During the attempt to steal Stephens’ vehicle, he was shot and later died. Both teens were arrested in connection with the spree.

A jury convicted Sam of first-degree murder and related robbery charges. Subsequent legal developments involving jurisdiction and tribal status led to changes in how the case was handled, and Sam later pleaded guilty in federal court to carjacking resulting in death; Simmons was scheduled to stand trial for his alleged role. Does anyone have information about Stephens, his routine that night, or the area around his home?
