In the early morning hours of March 15, 2015, a violent altercation at a rural Hinton, Oklahoma residence left 45-year-old Alfred Loyall Jr. dead of a gunshot wound. Deputies were called to 5108 County Road 2630 around 2 a.m., where Loyall’s body was found inside the home he shared with 74-year-old roommate Claude Wilkinson.

A third resident witnessed an argument between Loyall and Wilkinson escalate to deadly violence and told investigators that Wilkinson shot Loyall. Wilkinson was arrested on a complaint of first-degree murder; he already had a pending 2013 charge for shooting with intent to kill. Wilkinson was later tried and convicted of first-degree murder and received a life sentence, which the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals upheld in January 2017 after an appeal arguing insufficient evidence and lack of intent.

Did anyone in Hinton know Loyall or have information about what led to the argument that night?
