Carlos Santos, 17, was fatally wounded during a drug transaction at Oxford Oaks Apartments near Second Street and Boulevard in Edmond, Oklahoma. The meeting in March 2016 involved Santos and two friends, 18-year-olds Jessey Gonzalez and Nicolas Gedela, selling a quarter pound of marijuana for $850 to three buyers. As Gonzalez attempted to drive away, one of the buyers produced a firearm and fired into the vehicle, a single bullet striking Santos in the head. He was taken to an Oklahoma City hospital and died the following Saturday morning.

Edmond police later arrested Gonzalez and Gedela and charged both with first-degree murder under a state felony-murder statute because the death occurred during the commission of a drug crime. Gedela was also charged with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance; Gonzalez faced charges of possession with intent to distribute and possession of drug proceeds. Both were held without bond. The three alleged buyers who fled after the shooting remained unidentified and at large.

Did anyone see the vehicle or the individuals who fled the scene that night, or have information about the three buyers?
