Carmell Jamar Stoliby, known as Mell, was 18 when he was shot and killed in the 300 block of Monroe Street in Ardmore, Oklahoma, on September 19, 2015. A student at Ardmore High School and described as openly involved in school activities, his death after an argument earlier in the week shocked family, friends, and the community.

Reports say the fatal shooting followed an altercation between Stoliby and one of the suspects that escalated around 9 p.m. that Saturday night. A witness tip describing the suspects and their vehicle led investigators to identify and arrest two male juveniles, both students at Ardmore High School; the teens were charged with first-degree murder, and one was prosecuted as an adult.

Carmell Stoliby’s death focused attention on youth violence in the community. If anyone remembers Carmell or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to share what you know.
