Vallon DeWayne Broadus, 44, was shot dead in Tulsa on the evening of October 21, 2015, after a confrontation that began with a mistaken belief about a missing woman. Visitors from Bethany — identified as Ike Frank Nicholson, Jr., and his girlfriend, Carrie Lira — came to Tulsa thinking Lira’s sister Kelli was being held by Broadus. Nicholson, accompanied by an acquaintance, Antwuan Adamson, waited at a Tulsa residence and confronted Broadus when he arrived and parked in the driveway.

Nicholson carried a 12-gauge shotgun, demanded that Kelli get out of the car, then fired, striking Broadus. The vehicle rolled backward and struck a post; it was later determined Kelli had never been in Broadus’s car. Nicholson and Lira fled but were later arrested in Oklahoma City. Nicholson was charged with murder, tried, and a jury convicted him of second-degree murder; he was sentenced to life in prison.

Are there details about Broadus’s life or the events that night that anyone in the Tulsa area can add?
