Narrative: This past Tuesday evening, officers with Oklahoma City were notified of a possible homicide which taken place at a residence in our city. Police learned a person had possibly killed another at the home and buried the victim in the backyard. Once the home was secured, detectives responded and began their investigation which included excavation efforts. Members of the Crime Scene Unit, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and anthropologists worked tirelessly for several hours and were relentless in their search for the victim. A victim was ultimately unearthed from the backyard after hours of digging. Investigators developed enough probable cause in this case to arrest 22-year-old Juan Lopez-Aldana. He was booked into jail on a complaint of First-Degree Murder.
Currently, the investigation is in the early stages. Anyone with any information should contact the Homicide Tip Line 405/297-1200.
