OKLAHOMA CITY — Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with a shooting that left an 18-year-old dead last week in north Oklahoma City.
It is homicide #68 for the City of Oklahoma City in 2025.
Police believe the fatal shooting took place during an arranged meeting among three individuals on Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Oklahoma City Police patrol officers were called to Allenhurst Avenue near Broadway Extension and Hefner Road at 10:44 a.m. after reports of gunfire in the area.
When they arrived, they found Jaden Manning, 18, dead in front of 9 Allenhurst Avenue.
Detectives believe Manning was with two other people when gunfire broke out during the meeting.
On Thursday, initial notices to the press were that the shooting happened in front of 13 Allenhurst. But, since, that has been corrected to reflect that it was in front of the house next door, 9 Allenhurst.
At the scene Thursday, crime scene investigators were documenting shell casings in the front yard of 9 Allenhurst.
Javion Jackson, 18, was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a murder complaint around 8:00 p.m. the same day.
Dareon Cole, 17, was arrested Monday on the same complaint and is being held at the Oklahoma County Juvenile Detention Center, according to Staff Sergeant Dillon Quirk with OCPD.
Authorities have not released further details about the motive or what led to the shooting.
