An OU student died after being shot at an apartment complex near 1852 E. Lindsey St. April 23.

The Norman Police Department located 20-year-old Nathaniel Ewing, who was an OU sophomore, in the parking lot of the Willowbrook Apartments complex just before 11 p.m. Sunday night with a single gunshot wound to his abdomen, according to a press release. Ewing later died at a local hospital on April 24, according to the release. 

Witnesses said that Ewing and another individual were the targets of an attempted robbery in the apartment complex parking lot, during which two shots were fired, according to the release. 

Two suspects drove away from the scene in a light-colored sports utility vehicle, according to the statement. The NPD has identified and interviewed a person of interest, but the incident remains under investigation, and no suspects are currently in custody.

OU President David Boren said in an email statement provided by OU press secretary Matt Epting that the university offers condolences to Ewing's family.

"We are saddened by the tragic loss of one of our OU family members. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the student’s family and loved ones during this very difficult time," Boren said in the statement. "The Norman Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding his passing, and the university has asked to be kept informed."
