Two found shot to death at northwest Norman apartment complex; police say no active threat

The desk's Nov. 8 check found no verified update after Nov. 4 identifying the two people found dead Nov. 2 in the 2700 block of 24th Avenue NW, near Rock Creek Road. That is a finding about the sources checked—not a claim that police have released nothing elsewhere.

What the reporting establishes

Officers responded about 7:49 p.m. to multiple gunshot reports. One person was found dead in a hallway with apparent gunshot wounds; officers then found a second person dead inside that person's apartment, also with apparent gunshot wounds. News 9 (Nov. 3) and KOCO (Nov. 3) attribute those details to Norman police. The Norman Transcript reported the response at about 7:40 p.m.

In the original reports, police said there was no active threat and they were not seeking additional individuals. The investigation was ongoing. The Norman Chronicle (Nov. 4) identifies the complex as Terra Apartments and attributes comments about continuing forensic work to Capt. Lee McWhorter through KFOR.

What remains unverified

The desk has not verified identities, relationship, sequence, motive or official manner of death. The absence of a search for additional individuals does not establish what happened. Neither deceased person is identified here as a suspect. No suspect mugshot was located, and no illustration is presented as a scene photograph.
