A federal jury returned a guilty verdict on all four counts of an Indictment filed in March 2024.
Cameron Lynn, 34, was convicted of first degree murder in Indian country, assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm in Indian country, carrying, using, brandishing, and discharging a firearm during and about a crime of violence, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury in Indian country.
According to evidence presented at trial on February 24, 2024, Tulsa Police officers were dispatched around midnight to a call where someone was shot.
The caller was in a heavily wooded area near railroad tracks, flagged down officers and led them to the encampment.
Officers found two victims in their tents that were shot. Medical personnel arrived on the scene and rendered aid to both victims. One victim was shot in the abdomen and transported to a local hospital.
The other victim, Alcides Monroig, died at the scene.
The caller and surviving victim told officers that they were asleep when Lynn approached their encampment. They explained that Lynn started going through their belongings, stating he was trying to find his stuff.
They told officers they shined a flashlight, trying to see Lynn, and asked him to leave. Lynn refused and shot several times at both tents before fleeing.
Several witnesses testified that they saw Lynn heading towards the encampment. After they heard several shots fired, Lynn ran toward the witnesses, telling them that they needed to leave the area and that he shot in self-defence.
Before being detained, Lynn attempted to alter his appearance to avoid detection by officers. When interviewed by Tulsa Police detectives, Lynn claimed that his brother was the shooter.
Lynn is a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. He will remain in custody. Sentencing will be scheduled at a later date.
