Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma

A 16-year-old boy was killed Friday afternoon after another motorist fired shots into his car. Shawn Weaver was driving in the 5200 block of Brookdale Drive in southeast Oklahoma City when a car pulled up next to him about 4 p.m. and fired several shots at the youth, Sgt. Roger Wagnon said.

At least one bullet hit Weaver in the left side, Wagnon said. The Oklahoma City youth then drove several blocks to a convenience store, Wagnon said. Patrons in the store called for help.

The youth was taken to a local hospital, where he died. A 16-year-old passenger in the car was not injured.
 

Burial at Arlington Memory Gardens

October 20, 1995

A funeral for a suspected gang member was disrupted Thursday after a fight broke out among some of those attending. The funeral for Shawn Weaver , 17, was being held at Arlington Memory Gardens in Midwest City about 2 p.m. Thursday when a man showed up with a gun, Midwest City police Sgt. Bill Howard said.

Some of those attending thought the man was involved in Weaver 's death, Howard said. "The people attending the funeral disarmed him and roughed him up a little bit," Howard said. No shots were fired, but police were questioning several involved in the disturbance. Weaver , of Oklahoma City, was also a suspect in the shooting death of a salvage yard worker.

Alvin Walker, 63, was found dead Oct. 7 at R&T Salvage at NE 10 and Sunny lane Road, where he worked as a night watchman, authorities said earlier. Police said Walker was killed during a robbery at the salvage yard. Two suspects have been arrested, and police said they were searching for Weaver as the third suspect.

Before he could be arrested, however, Weaver was killed on Oct. 15 in an unrelated drive-by shooting. Terrance Demario Britt, 20, of Oklahoma City was arrested Wednesday on a murder complaint in connection with Weaver 's death.
