OKLAHOMA CITY (KOCO) — A 21-year-old man confessed to Oklahoma City police that he shot his girlfriend, Andrea Leete, after she mentioned another man’s name while they were sitting in a car.
On Dec. 5, multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a call at Lorraine Thomas Park, where they found 22-year-old Leete shot multiple times. Caleb Davila admitted to police that he shot Leete, leading to her death from multiple gunshot wounds.
Officers said she was still alive at the scene.
According to a newly filed arrest affidavit, Davila was sitting in a car with Leete when she mentioned another man. He asked who the person was and demanded to see her phone, but she refused and asked him to get out of her vehicle.
Davila told detectives he “got angry and blacked out,” admitting that he “ruined his life and hers.” He was unsure whether he shot her inside or outside the car.
After the shooting, Davila ran away, called his mom, and she picked him up about a mile down the road near Southwest 24th and Brookline. Davila then took his mom’s car, leaving her on the road, and he led police on a chase.
When they finally caught up with him, he had the gun in the car with him.
Davila is facing charges of first-degree murder and endangering others while eluding police.
Leete was taken to the hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Davila’s next court date has not been set yet, and he is in jail on a $10 million bond.
