Authorities are looking for a suspect in connection with the shooting of Bradley Wahnee, a member of the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma who was killed on Tuesday night.
Wahnee was 19. He was attending Oklahoma City University on a scholarship for Indian students and had dreams of entering the medical field.
"It makes no sense to me any time a young person’s life is cut down,” Clint Normore, OCU’s multicultural student director, told The Oklahoman. "I’m still asking why.”
Kari Wahnee said her son was an innocent victim of gang violence, although authorities wouldn't confirm the connection. They are looking for Angel Yasser Hernandez, 19, of Oklahoma City.
