Cameron Lee Cox was 50 and living in southeast Oklahoma City when he was shot dead outside a modest residence in the 600 block of SE Grand Boulevard on Monday afternoon, September 21, 2015. Officers who responded around 1 p.m. found Cox with multiple gunshot wounds; witnesses reported hearing the gunfire and described a man approaching the home, producing a firearm, shooting Cox, then walking away.

Police quickly identified 52-year-old Alan Eugene Strickland as a suspect with a personal connection to Cox’s household and took him into custody the same day. Prosecutors described the killing as a targeted attack tied to a troubled personal relationship; an Oklahoma jury later convicted Alan E. Strickland of first-degree murder and the trial court imposed a life sentence.

Strickland pursued appeals and post-conviction challenges, and later filed a federal habeas petition, but the state murder conviction and life sentence remained in place. Does anyone have firsthand recollections from that neighborhood or information about Cox’s life in southeast Oklahoma City?
