It is with great sorrow that we share the passing of Jonni Salazar, a 30-year-old woman whose life was tragically taken in a shooting on Sunday morning, July 20, 2025, at an apartment complex in Bethany, Oklahoma.
According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), officers responded just after 8 a.m. to reports of a shooting near Northwest 23rd Street and North Glade Avenue. When authorities arrived, they found Jonni suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Despite immediate lifesaving efforts by first responders, she was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Jonni’s unexpected and violent death has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving family, friends, and loved ones heartbroken. She is remembered as a vibrant soul whose presence brought warmth and light to those around her.
Following the incident, Bethany police and OSBI special agents launched an investigation that led them to a suspect who had barricaded himself inside an apartment at the scene. A tactical team was deployed, and authorities later discovered the suspect, 32-year-old Alexander Berry, with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital and remains in stable condition.
The investigation is ongoing, and the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office will determine what charges will be filed.
Jonni’s tragic passing has left a void in the lives of all who knew and loved her. As the community grieves this heartbreaking loss, plans for a memorial service will be shared by her family in the coming days.
May Jonni Salazar be remembered for the love she gave, the joy she brought, and the life she lived. She will never be forgotten.
