Cristian Estrada Tovar was 22 when he was killed in the early hours of Sunday, May 8, 2016, outside a modest home in the 900 block of Southwest 24th Street in Oklahoma City. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire before dawn; officers found Cristian lying in the front yard, mortally wounded by bullets, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was logged as the city’s 23rd homicide of 2016.

Investigators later developed leads that reached beyond Oklahoma City. On June 13, 2016, 19-year-old Curlton Panoske was arrested in Ardmore on unrelated charges and, while in custody, was linked to Cristian’s killing. By August 2016 the Oklahoma City Police and the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office had filed first-degree murder charges against Panoske in connection with the Southwest 24th Street shooting. Accounts note prolonged legal proceedings but do not clearly state how the prosecution of Cristian’s death concluded.

Did anyone in the neighborhood remember unusual activity that morning or have information about people seen near that front yard before dawn?
