Curtis Clayton was 35 when he was shot and killed during an attempted armed robbery on the evening of December 23, 2015, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Masked gunmen forced their way into a garage near North Peoria Avenue and East 44th Street North; police say Clayton was shot in the head during the attack.

Investigators connected 19-year-old Geomari Day’on Washington to the crime. Washington checked into two hospitals under false names claiming he had been shot in nearby Broken Arrow, but forensic evidence linked him to the scene when the victim’s blood was found on his pants. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a firearm, possession of a firearm, and obstructing an officer.

A jury found Washington guilty on all counts after more than ten hours of deliberation. In April 2018 he was sentenced to life without parole, with concurrent terms for the other charges; later appeals were denied in November 2020. Does anyone have information about Curtis Clayton or the location near North Peoria and East 44th Street North that could add detail to the case?
