OKLAHOMA CITY – A south OKC restaurant and bar was rocked by gun violence in the opening hour of Sunday morning, leaving two dead, more injured, and police investigators attempting to understand the full story.
Just after midnight (Saturday night/Sunday morning) on July 19th, police were alerted to a shooting at Dos Cinco Restaurant and Bar at 324 SW 25th St., which had only recently celebrated its grand opening in June.
Upon arriving, police found two men dead of gunshot wounds and multiple others injured, some of whom had already been transported to a nearby hospital in a personal vehicle.
According to police investigators, the shooting appears to have arisen from a fight inside the bar that allegedly escalated as 23-year-old Mosses Sandoval shot and killed 20-year-old Adolfo Lopez.
Witnesses at the scene told police that Lopez had his hands raised and was attempting to de-escalate the situation when he was shot.
Following Lopez’s killing, someone else in the bar immediately shot and killed Sandoval, but police have not released a name of who that may have been, and no arrests have been made for Sandoval’s killing.
At least three other victims were wounded in the shooting, but there have been no other deaths reported at this time.
The owners of Dos Cinco Restaurant and Bar have indicated that they intend to close the establishment indefinitely following the shooting.
Police say the investigation into the incident is ongoing and anyone with any information is being asked to call their Homicide Tip-Line at (405) 297-1200.
The deaths of Adolfo Lopez and Mosses Sandoval are Oklahoma City’s 40th and 41st homicides in 2026.
