Oklahoma City man shot in front of family accused by shooters of belonging to gang

An Oklahoma City man who moments before had been eating dinner with his family was shot in his apartment Tuesday after a group of men accused him of belonging to a rival gang, Oklahoma City police reported.

Traveon Tatum had just gotten off work at Burger King and was eating with his wife and children, ages 3 and 5, when the men began banging on the door of his apartment at 3654 N Lottie Ave., according to a police report. Tatum's wife told police one man asked if Tatum was a member of the bloods, adding that he had seen Tatum driving the red car in the driveway.

Tatum denied involvement with any gang and told the men the car belonged to his wife. One of the men then shot more than a dozen times into the apartment, striking Tatum in the middle of his chest and his upper right leg.

Tatum was taken to OU Medical Center where he remains in stable condition, said Sgt. Ashley Peters.

I feel for this poor guy who apparently was just minding his own business with his family when these gang idiots showed up.
