did say he was shot around an hour before the girlfriend arrived home. Stephenson
was last known to be alive around 10P.M., and everything had seemed normal. But
by 11:30P.M., the man was slain in his home by a person or persons unknown.

He has arrests at a younger age evidenced by the younger mugshots, but the charges
are recorded back only to 2002.
Leeroy Stephenson lived in a nice 50s neighborhood, just outside of Tulsa County.
However, this neighborhood has other unsolved homicides, mainly from the 80s - 2000s
(Tommie Lee Jones, 2/8/1980, 717 N Yukon) (James Garrett, 9/10/1995, 1819 W Indepen.)
They don't appear to be related, though it is notable that Garrett and Stepehenson's
homicides are slightly similar. Both black men in their 20s shot during apparent
break-ins, with no arrests made. It was not said if Stephenson was robbed.
The home at 703 N Yukon in August 2011.
