Manhunt Still Active For Suspect In Shooting That Injured Deputy, Killed Passer-by

Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies said a manhunt remains active for a man accused of a shooting that injured a deputy and killed a passer-by in Garvin County last week.

The Garvin County Sheriff's Office, the United States Marshals Service and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation are continuing to follow up on leads and reported sightings of 25-year-old Kameron Jenkins, the Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook Monday.

"The public should remain vigilant and observant and report any possible sightings of Jenkins to the Crime Stopper tip-line, 405-235-7300, or by reporting the sighting to your local law enforcement," the Sheriff's Office said in its post.

The OSBI told News 9 on Monday that there were no new updates on the investigation.

Jenkins is wanted because investigators said he shot and injured Cleveland County Deputy Sean Steadman on Wednesday, Oct. 4. A probable cause affidavit said Steadman, who is a member of the District 21 Drug Task Force, was trying to pull over Jenkins on I-35 near Wynnewood. As the suspect continued to drive, Steadman performed a tactical vehicle intervention maneuver to stop Jenkins' car. A gunfight ensured, during which Jenkins shot Steadman in the chin, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit said a stray bullet also hit and killed a passer-by, Gwaun Frierson, who was sitting in a dump truck. Jenkins then ran away, investigators said.

Garvin County Sheriff Jim Mullet is asking people to check their game, doorbell and security cameras for signs of Jenkins and call Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300 or 1-855-211-STOP. People can also call the U.S. Marshals Service at 1-877-WANTED2 (926-8332).

As for Steadman, he is expected to recover. But a friend posted that the road will likely be long and painful. It's also unclear when Steadman will be able to return to work. The friend created a GoFundMe page to benefit Stead, his wife, and their three children. Click here to visit the fundraiser.
