Date & Time: 11/15/2022 at 10:25 AM
Location: 14000 Iron Rd.
Involved Officers: Sgt. Cody Rodgers – nine years of service Officer David Mauck – three years of service Officer Elisa McCoy – two years of service
Deceased suspect: Johnson, Timothy (W/M, DOB: 7/21/1984)
Narrative: Yesterday morning, police were notified that a man with an out-of-state felony warrant was in a travel trailer at 14000 Iron Rd. Responding officers learned the suspect, Timothy Johnson, had been seen entering the trailer, and were told that he had not come out.
Officers obtained consent to search the trailer and then made entry. While searching the trailer, officers lifted a mattress that covered a storage area. When the mattress was lifted, officers saw Mr. Johnson hiding in the storage area, armed with a pistol. Mr. Johnson immediately opened fire on the officers. All three officers returned fire and retreated to an area of safety outside of the trailer.
The OKCPD Tactical Unit was activated and responded to the scene. Attempts to contact Mr. Johnson were unsuccessful, and the Tactical Unit ultimately made entry into the trailer where they found him deceased.
One of the three officers suffered a non-life-threatening injury when he was struck in the face by flying debris during the fire fight. The officer was treated and released at an area hospital.
All three officers have been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
