In the early morning hours of October 4, 2014, 19-year-old DeQuinn L. Mackey was shot during a dispute at the Quail Lake Apartments near N.W. 140th and Penn in Oklahoma City. The argument between two men reportedly involved a suspected stolen cellphone and escalated to gunfire. Mackey and another person were taken by private vehicle to a local hospital; Mackey was pronounced dead on arrival.

The other victim, 18-year-old Natalie Martin, suffered a gunshot wound to her hand and was treated and released. Mackey’s death was recorded as the 45th homicide in Oklahoma City that year. Police identified a suspect and, the morning after the shooting, 19-year-old Kamron L. Carter was arrested during a traffic stop and booked on a complaint of first-degree murder in connection with Mackey’s death.

Anyone who was at Quail Lake Apartments that night or who has information about the dispute or the shooting is asked to come forward.
