Dalayvain Hearne, a 12-year-old African American boy, was shot while at a home in Okmulgee, Oklahoma on March 9, 2019. A knock at the door led to a brief exchange, then gunfire. Dalayvain suffered gunshot wounds to the head and ankle and was taken to the hospital on life support; his family later donated his organs, which saved five other people. A 21-year-old man at the home, Leon Maurice Grant III, also was shot in the leg twice.
Okmulgee Police identified Ronel Eugene Fultz as a suspect. Fultz was initially arrested on an unrelated felon-in-possession charge and later charged in connection with the killing; authorities upgraded charges to include first-degree murder, shooting with intent to kill, and discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling. Funeral services were held at Brock Memorial Gymnasium and Dalayvain was buried at Hoardsville Cemetery.
If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Dalayvain, please share what you know.
