A Pattern of Breezeway Shootings in the Metro
Monday's shooting is not the only recent case in which a man was gunned down in the breezeway of an Oklahoma City apartment complex. A 32-year-old man, Chad Halvorson, was shot and killed late Tuesday night in the breezeway of an apartment complex, according to the Free Press OKC. In that case, officers responded about 10:17 p.m. to a check-the-welfare call in the 6700 block of Decon Avenue, near Wilshire Avenue and Lyrewood Lane, and found Halvorson lying in the breezeway with apparent gunshot wounds before he was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.
The outlet reported that Halvorson's death marked the 72nd homicide in Oklahoma City in 2025, according to police. That case and Morris's death both unfolded in apartment breezeways, though the available reporting does not connect the two incidents beyond that shared setting.
