A 22-year-old Oklahoma City man accused of gunning down his girlfriend in a southwest-side parking lot has been bound over for trial after a preliminary hearing on June 16, 2026. Prosecutors say the victim, 22-year-old Andrea Leete, was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside her vehicle on Dec. 5, 2025, and later died at a nearby hospital. Authorities report the accused, Caleb Davila, is jailed on a $10,000,000 bond and faces counts of first‑degree murder and endangering others while eluding police, with a formal arraignment set for Aug. 12, 2026.
Police bulletin describes the scene
According to the City of Oklahoma City’s police bulletin, officers were called around 7:33 p.m. on Dec. 5 to a parking lot near S.W. 22nd Street and Independence Avenue, where they found Leete inside her vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The bulletin lists the case as Homicide #70 of 2025 and notes that investigators later learned Leete and Davila were in a dating relationship, per the City of Oklahoma City. The city asked anyone with information to call the homicide tip line at 405‑297‑1200.
Court records: what Davila told investigators
Court documents reviewed by KOCO state that Davila told detectives he “got angry and blacked out” after Leete mentioned another man’s name, and that he admitted to his stepfather he had shot her. Police say he ran from the scene, called his mother, then took her car, leading officers on a chase before surrendering in the 2800 block of N. May, with the gun still inside the vehicle. Those filings formed the basis of the murder complaint and the resulting arrest.
Charges, bond and next court dates
KOKH reports that Davila was arrested on complaints of first‑degree murder and endangering others while eluding a police officer and has now been bound over for trial. He remains held on a $10,000,000 bond, and his formal arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 12, 2026. Prosecutors have not publicly indicated whether they will seek any enhanced penalties.
Legal stakes and what comes next
First‑degree murder in Oklahoma is defined in Title 21 of the state statutes and can carry life imprisonment or the death penalty, depending on aggravating factors, according to Justia. The case is expected to move through discovery and pretrial hearings toward a jury trial unless a plea is entered. Anyone with tips or evidence is urged to contact the Oklahoma City Police Department’s Homicide Tip Line at 405‑297‑1200, as referenced in the city bulletin.
