Jamarko Antwon Willis Ward was 18 when he was shot at The Spot, a north Tulsa nightclub, on the night of Saturday, March 12, 2016. Gunfire in the crowded venue struck Ward; he was taken to a local hospital and died of his wounds on March 14, 2016. Two women were also wounded and were reported to be recovering.

Tulsa Police investigated the homicide and released images seeking the public’s help identifying a person of interest. On March 18, 2016, 23-year-old Damian Cooper saw his image linked to the shooting, turned himself in to police, and was booked on a complaint of first-degree murder. He was also charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon for the injuries to the two women and with a firearms possession offense. The shooting followed an altercation inside the club; reports note Cooper had been shot in the head in a gang-related incident four months earlier.

If anyone knew Jamarko Ward, witnessed the shooting at The Spot, or has information that could help, please come forward.
