Nicholas Sweet

3 people are shot following a party in NW Oklahoma City
Nicholas Sweet was a 32-year-old Black man from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was a brother to Angela, Dontia, and Nichole Sweet. His family remembered him after his death, cherishing his place in their lives.

In the early morning hours of December 2, 2012, a party at the Pulse Event Center in northwest Oklahoma City ended in violence. Just after 2:30 a.m., a shooting erupted outside the venue, and three men were struck by gunfire. Nicholas and another man, 34-year-old Raymond Huddleston, died from their wounds. A third victim, 35-year-old Anthony Jackson, was also shot but survived his injuries.

The Oklahoma City Police Department began an investigation into the double homicide. By the end of the month, detectives had identified a suspect in the fatal shooting and sought the public's help in locating him.

Police issued an arrest warrant for 24-year-old Keenan Lamar Leake. He was wanted on two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Nicholas Sweet and Raymond Huddleston, along with one count of shooting with intent to kill. As of December 2012, Leake was still being sought by law enforcement. Authorities asked that anyone with information regarding his whereabouts call 911.
