Braydon Keith Lee Creech was five years old when he was killed in Tulsa, Oklahoma during a prolonged standoff that began March 19, 2015. The incident started after Braydon’s father, Bryon Keith Creech, broke into the apartment of the boy’s mother, Laurel Joy Creech, in violation of a protective order. Bryon then barricaded himself and Braydon inside, prompting roughly 17 hours of negotiations with Tulsa Police. Multiple gunshots were reported from inside the apartment during the standoff.

The standoff ended the morning of March 20, 2015, when Bryon surrendered. Police found Braydon’s body inside; an autopsy ruled the cause of death gunshot wounds to the chest and neck and classified the death as a homicide. Bryon was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder and related offenses including shooting with intent to kill, kidnapping, child abuse by injury, child neglect, second-degree burglary, and violation of a protective order. Braydon’s parents were in the midst of contested divorce proceedings and his mother had previously reported threats from Bryon.

Does anyone have information about this case or knew Braydon and his family that could help clarify what happened?
