Formal charges have been filed against four people arrested in connection with the shooting death of an OU student. Police arrested 20-year-old Tyrek Ladarius Turner, 19-year-old Armani Ashanti Morgan and two 17-year-old suspects in connection with the murder of 20-year-old Nathaniel Ewing. All four were booked into the Cleveland County Detention Center on a complaint of first degree murder. Turner and Morgan on Tuesday have been charged with first-degree murder. The 17-year-old suspects, later identified as Cody Eli Turbeville and James Arion Smith, are also charged as adults with first-degree murder. According to police, officers responded to the report of a shooting at about 11 p.m. Sunday at an apartment complex near 24th Avenue Southeast and Lindsey Street. One person was shot, and police are searching for the gunman. The victim, 20-year-old Nathaniel Ewing, was taken to OU Medical Center, where he later died. According to police, preliminary information indicates that Ewing and another person were approached by two men in the parking lot of the apartment complex. Witnesses indicate that the two men attempted to rob Ewing and the other person. During the incident, two shots were fired. Ewing was shot once. The other person ran from the scene, and was not injured. The two men then drove away from the scene in a light-colored sports utility vehicle, witnesses told police. Ewing does not live at this location. It remains under investigation why he was at the apartment complex at the time of the incident. OU President David Boren released the following statement: "We are saddened by the tragic loss of one of our OU family members. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the student’s family and loved ones during this very difficult time. The Norman Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding his passing, and the university has asked to be kept informed."
