In reply to the discussion: Teen says she hopes her cop parents "rot" after they killed her boyfriend and shot at her [View all]tblue37
(68,467 posts)3. The young man was biracial. My guess is that the father
found out his daughter was dating a biracial young man and went over there to "defend his honor" by killing them both (since he also fired two or three shots at his daughter as she hid behind a rosebush). Apparently he also fired a couple of shots at the victim's 13-year-old brother, who was sitting on the stoop in front of the house:
According to a witness, Officer Kepler also shot the boyfriends 13-year-old brother who was on the scene.

According to jail records, Lake was walking with the Keplers daughter when they were confronted by a man driving a black 2007 Suburban. The daughter told police she recognized the SUV as her fathers so she walked over and spoke to him. She told police her father asked what she was doing in that area and she walked away. Thats when Lake approached the Suburban and told Kepler he was the daughters boyfriend, she told police.
The daughter said her father shot Lake two or three times, then shot at her two or three times, but missed. Kepler then drove off, according to the daughter.
A woman who said shes a relative of Lake told News On 6 he worked at the Day Center for the Homeless and met the Keplers daughter there when she needed a place to stay, and she had been staying with him recently. [...] Shannon Kepler was booked into the Tulsa County jail for 1st Degree Murder and Shooting with Intent to Kill. Gina Kepler was booked for Accessory after the Fact.

This second excerpt is from a different article. It was posted by one of the commenters on the bossip.com site. I wonder why most of the reports about this incident are glossing over the possible (perhaps probable) racial motive behind the murder.

OP
I looked them up on FaceBook, and there's a somewhat disturbing page that I'm guessing is Gina's.

It doesn't say anything about the young man being of mixed race, but the rest of the family look
