-- UPDATE to homicide #48 for the City of Oklahoma City in 2024

OKLAHOMA CITY — A woman who was discovered dead from apparent gunshot wounds near the drive-through of a Southside pharmacy on July 18 has now been identified.

Police confirmed in a press release that the victim has been positively identified as 53-year-old Sabrina Johnson.

Captain Valerie Littlejohn, PIO for OKCPD, confirmed in a phone call with Free Press that the parking lot of the pharmacy appeared to be the place where the victim was killed.

The pharmacy is near the busy intersection of SE 44th and Shields. Police believe that it happened that afternoon of Thursday, July 18, and that several people could have information that would help them identify and capture a suspect.

Police urge anyone who may have been driving by that intersection in the middle of the afternoon Thursday who might have seen the woman or who has any information to call the Homicide Tip-Line at 405/297-1200.

“This is still an open investigation and no arrests have been made,” Littlejohn told us.

It is being counted as homicide #48 for the City of Oklahoma City in 2024.

Patrol officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department were dispatched to a pharmacy at SE 44th and Shields Blvd on the near South Side of OKC Thursday, July 18 at 3:18 PM in response to reports of a female body on the grounds near the drive-through.

When they arrived they found the body of a female “who appeared to have been shot to death,” according to MSgt. Gary Knight with the Oklahoma City Police Department in a press release.
