Jeremy Lake, a 19-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on a Tulsa street in August 2014 while walking with his girlfriend, 18-year-old Lisa Kepler, near downtown. The couple encountered Lisa’s father, off-duty Tulsa Police Department veteran Shannon Kepler. The encounter escalated and Shannon Kepler fired multiple shots, striking Lake and killing him. He also fired at his daughter as she ran but missed.

The shooting was said to be motivated by Shannon Kepler’s disapproval of his daughter’s relationship; Lisa had recently been kicked out of the family home and was staying with Lake. Kepler claimed he acted in self-defense and alleged Lake had a weapon, but no weapon was found on or near Lake’s body. Shannon Kepler and his wife, Tulsa officer Gina Kepler, were arrested; Shannon faced a first-degree murder charge while Gina was held on a complaint of accessory after the fact.
