Emmett Tyler Wood was 26 when he was shot and killed during an attempted robbery at a Kum & Go on 86th Street North in Owasso, Oklahoma, on the evening of July 24, 2015. According to reports, the confrontation began when Jacob Pepper, under the influence of methamphetamine, demanded money. A physical struggle inside a pickup truck ended when Pepper shot Wood. After being shot, Wood either fell or was pushed out of the vehicle into the gas station parking lot and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Three men — Jacob Pepper, Michael A.J. Hatcher, and Antonio Tony Pruitt — were arrested and initially charged with first-degree murder on July 30, 2015. By December 2015, charges against Hatcher and Pruitt were dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence to proceed to murder convictions. Jacob Pepper later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced in May 2016 to 33 years in prison.

Are there witnesses who remember the events at the Kum & Go that night or who saw the pickup truck in the parking lot?
