OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. — A late‑night shooting at a party near SW 38th Street in southwest Oklahoma City left a woman injured early Sunday, authorities say. Police confirm her injuries are non‑life‑threatening and that she is expected to recover.
Officers were dispatched to the area around 3:00 a.m. Sunday in response to a loud noise complaint at a gathering when they encountered the chaotic scene and subsequent gunfire.
Police Respond to Loud Party and Gunfire
According to the Oklahoma City Police Department, officers responding to the loud party complaint noticed people and vehicles quickly leaving the area as they pulled in. Shortly thereafter, the officers heard gunshots in the distance.
Investigators later located an injured woman and her vehicle near SW 38th Street. Police reported that the woman’s car was found with multiple bullet holes, and she had been struck by gunfire. Her injuries have been described as non‑life‑threatening, and she is expected to make a full recovery.
Police say no officers were hurt during the response.
Suspects Not Yet Identified
As of the latest update, police have not identified any suspects or released descriptions of anyone who may have fired shots. The investigation remains active, and no arrests have been announced.
Oklahoma City police are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to come forward to assist detectives working to determine what happened and who was responsible.
Part of Broader Pattern of Party Shootings
This shooting comes amid a series of late‑night party gunfire incidents in Oklahoma City this year. Earlier in February, a shooting at a private gathering in Midtown left another person injured, highlighting growing concerns about violence at impromptu or unregulated events.
Local reporting has noted that such pop‑up parties make it difficult for police to secure scenes quickly, as attendees and potential witnesses often leave before officers arrive.
Investigation Underway
The Oklahoma City Police Department says detectives are actively canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses and searching for any available video footage that might help identify the shooter or shooters.
Police have also appealed to residents and partygoers who may have captured video or observed suspicious activity in the area. Officials say they will release additional updates as more information becomes available.
