Midwest City sees two holiday shootings blocks apart within days
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (KFOR) — The Midwest City Police Department has responded to two separate Memorial Day weekend shootings within less than a mile of each other in just a few days. On May 23, Midwest City Police responded to a shooting outside a graduation pool party near Northeast 10th Street and Air Depot Boulevard. When police arrived they found a man shot in the chest multiple times, who died. 'I ain't never seen nothing like this happen at any party,' said Xavier Walker, who attended the event. May 26, in another neighborhood near Northeast 10th Street and Air Depot Boulevard, Midwest City Police responded to another shooting just after 3:00 p.m. Midwest City Police say a person there was shot in the arm, and tried to drive themselves to the hospital, but didn't make it very far. The victim is expect to survive. News 4 spoke with a neighbor, Biddie Thompson, who said she heard the entire incident, happening right across the street from her front porch. 'We thought it was fireworks at first, but it didn't sound right,' said Thompson. Thompson said she was not happy about the string of violent crimes over a holiday typically dedicated to honoring America's heroes and spending time with loved ones. One person injured, suspect on the run after shooting in Midwest City 'I'm not very thrilled with it,' said Thompson. Thompson said that she counted a little less than a dozen gunshots Monday and witnessed multiple vehicles outside her home, but never heard any arguing. 'I looked out the window and saw, a truck and then a car, and I saw a guy come out with pants on and jump in, and they both sped off, so I knew something was going on.' News 4 employees counted several evidence markers while police investigators were on the scene Monday afternoon as well as bullet casings. Police have not named a suspect in either the May 26 or May 23 shootings. Thompson encourages both individuals to do the right thing and turn themselves in. 'I would encourage you to do that so there won't be any retaliation against you and that you won't get hurt,' said Thompson. 'I'm praying for you.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
