OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – Geo Martinez is coming to terms with a scary reality.
“That could have been anybody. It’s crazy that it happened to her,” said Martinez. “It’s just been putting a little toll on us, honestly.”
He and his friend were inside his home off of NW 36th Street in Oklahoma City in the early hours of August 7.
“We just heard a loud boom,” said Martinez. “We just walked around a little bit to see what was going on. We didn’t see nothing.”
