On the evening of January 8, 2015, 16-year-old Kevin Gramajo was shot while driving near Southwest 25th Street and South May Avenue in south Oklahoma City. Witnesses called 911 after seeing someone in a silver sports car fire at Kevin’s vehicle; officers found his car partially off the road with its windows damaged and Kevin mortally wounded. He was taken to OU Medical Center and later pronounced dead; a forensic pathologist determined a gunshot wound to the head was the cause.

Police located a matching silver vehicle minutes later and arrested two occupants, identified as 44-year-old Samuel Powell and 18-year-old Harold Allen. Officers recovered a rifle from their car, and the medical examiner reported wound fragments consistent with a rifle round. Prosecutors described the incident as a road rage confrontation that began with a heated exchange at a traffic light and escalated to fatal gunfire.

Samuel Max Powell was tried and, according to court records, convicted of first-degree murder in 2016. Kevin is remembered online by friends and family as humble and loving. If anyone witnessed the events that night or has additional information about the confrontation, please share what is known.
