OKLAHOMA CITY (Free Press) — Officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) found an aparent victim of a gunshot wound on the city’s west side on Tuesday, April 26.

Police were called to the apartment at 5001 N.W. 10th Street at about 1:30 p.m. to check on the welfare of a resident in the apartments at that address according to a press release.

Once they arrived and entered the apartment they found the dead body of Miguel Alexis Rivera Del Angel (DOB 02-28-2000) who appeared to have died from a gunshot wound.
