Tragedy struck at 1411 SW 38th St. yesterday afternoon, where a shooting resulted in the third homicide of 2025. According to a report by the Oklahoma City Police Department, the incident occurred at around 2:04 p.m. when the victim, Jasmin Chavez, engaged in a conversation with several individuals in the 1300 block of SW 38th. The situation turned dire when Chavez was shot and consequently attempted to flee in her vehicle, ultimately crashing into a nearby building.

Despite emergency services' swift response, Chavez, who was born on August 4, 2000, succumbed to her injuries after being transported to an area hospital. The aftermath of the incident left community members in shock, as the young woman's life was cut short in what investigative authorities are deeming a calculated act of violence. Investigators quickly pieced together the event's details, leading to the apprehension of two suspects by the evening.

The Oklahoma City Police Department has announced the arrest of Ryan Jones, born on October 4, 2005, and Elizabeth Hernandez, who was born on October 13, 2008, on a complaint of murder in the first degree. Jones is currently held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center, and Hernandez at the Berry House, a juvenile detention facility. The city grapples with this incident's violent nature, particularly due to the alleged involvement of minors as perpetrators.

The investigation into this harrowing incident continues as authorities delve deeper into the motives and circumstances that led to Chavez's untimely death. The Oklahoma City Police Department's quick response and subsequent arrests may bring a measure of justice for Chavez's loved ones, but the case serves as a stark reminder of the persistent dangers that afflict our streets. Additional details regarding the incident and forthcoming legal actions are expected to be disclosed as the case progresses.
