OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On July 20, 2025, Bethany Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired at the Western Oaks Apartment Homes complex. Upon arrival, officers discovered 30-year-old Jonni Salazar deceased inside a vehicle in the parking lot with apparent gunshot wounds.
Police identified Alexander Berry, 32. Berry was located barricaded inside an apartment within the complex, triggering a prolonged standoff. Officers attempted negotiations for several hours, utilizing crisis communication strategies. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation provided tactical support.
After negotiations stalled, law enforcement advanced and found Berry with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was immediately airlifted to a nearby hospital in stable but critical condition. Subsequent reports confirm Berry died from his injuries days later.
Public records reveal a history of domestic violence allegations, including multiple protective orders filed by Jonni Salazar against Berry in the weeks prior to the shooting. Authorities have not disclosed additional motive details.
The investigation remains active, overseen by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
