May 28, 2024 OKCPD officers with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service arrested 18-year old Doneto Patrick on a warrant for first degree murder. The homicide occurred on May 22, 2024 in the 1400-block of Westwood Boulevard in Oklahoma City. (#24-36731).

Public records show that 18-year-old Patrick, who has a juvenile criminal record as well, was arrested and released twice as an adult this year for violent offenses before the homicide incident.

Timeline of Arrests and Releases:

• January 30, 2024: Doneto Patrick was arrested for possession of a firearm, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance, and obstructing an officer. Despite the serious nature of these charges, Patrick was ordered to serve only 3-days in jail and released on February 2, 2024.

• May 14, 2024: Patrick was again taken into custody for possession of a firearm, his bond set at $3,000 and he was released just five days later, on May 19, 2024.

• May 22, 2024: Homicide was committed at 1450 Westwood Boulevard. Investigators identified Patrick as a suspect and a first-degree murder warrant for his arrest was issued on May 27, 2024.

• May 28, 2024: Patrick was arrested on a complaint of first-degree murder.

“These repeated releases are not only frustrating but also pose a significant threat to public safety,” said Police Chief Wade Gourley. “Low bond amounts on firearms offenses for violent repeat offenders also undermine the safety of our community and need to be addressed with stricter bail conditions for repeat offenders. It is imperative that individuals with such a clear history of violent behavior are not allowed back onto our streets to re-offend.”
