The Norman Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in the 1400 block of 84th Avenue NE at approximately 8 a.m. Tuesday. Once on scene, officers located one adult male, later identified as 23-year-old Markel McNeil (DOB: 2/5/1998), with a gunshot wound to the head. McNeil was transported by EMSSTAT to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries Thursday. Information from the Oklahoma Medical Examiner’s Office revealed the manner of McNeil’s death to be suspicious in nature.

Investigators believe that McNeil was traveling through Norman at the time of the incident. A black Kia Soul was captured on surveillance video in the area of the incident at the time the shooting likely occurred. Investigators are looking to identify the owner/driver of the vehicle to determine if this individual has any information regarding the incident. (Photo Below)
