On August 15, 2015, Trey Brenon Pritchard, a 46-year-old White male and lieutenant with the Sapulpa Police Department, was fatally shot while off duty in Midwest City, Oklahoma. He had accompanied his cousin, Jeffrey Grafton, to the Travelers Inn to retrieve a pickup truck that Grafton’s son, Jonathan Grafton, had taken without permission.
Jeffrey Grafton went into the motel room first. After a gunshot was heard, Pritchard — who had been waiting in his vehicle — entered the room to intervene. An altercation had occurred inside; Jonathan Grafton shot his father and then shot Pritchard. Both Pritchard and Jeffrey Grafton sustained fatal gunshot wounds to the head. A motel employee later discovered their bodies when the room’s door was found ajar.
Jonathan Grafton and his girlfriend, Daphne Mason, fled in the stolen pickup but were apprehended about 36 hours later at a convenience store in Enid, roughly 100 miles away. Pritchard, a 24-year veteran of the Sapulpa Police Department, was survived by his wife and five children.
Did anyone in Midwest City or the surrounding area know the Pritchard or Grafton families or have information about the events at the Travelers Inn?
