Community Reaction:

Ward 7 Councilwoman Nikki Nice said while precautions like a stricter curfew in the are seemed to be working, but there are still things that could be done to prevent crime.

“This happened in lower Bricktown,” Nice added. “So, the things that are happening in lower Bricktown that we need to continue to address are lighting issues, in my opinion.”

Mayor David Holt had no comment about this weekend's incidents. A representative for the Greater OKC Chamber also declined to comment, citing a need to learn more details.

“Our hearts go out to the victims of the senseless violence we are currently experiencing in our Downtown Community,” said a statement posted to the Facebook page for Visit Bricktown OKC. “Please pray and support the employees and businesses as we all work together to get through these difficult times within the district and our society.”
