Lisa Kepler, the 18-year-old daughter of Tulsa police officers Shannon and Gina Kepler, turned her parents into authorities for their involvement in an alleged murder. The girl claimed her dad, Shannon, shot her boyfriend to death in the street and then turned his gun on her.
Lisa says she hid behind a bush while the situation unfolded. Her mother was in the passenger seat when her father got out of his car and began shooting.
Shannon and Gina are 24-year veterans of the Tulsa Police Department. The pair were arrested Tuesday evening. Lisa says she hopes her parents “rot in prison for a very long time.”
The body of Lisa’s boyfriend, 19-year-old Jeremy Lake, was found in the street in front of his home. He and Lisa had been living together, according to police.
According to Lisa, her parents had kicked her out of their home and dropped her off in front of the Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless a week prior to the incident. There, she met Lake and they began dating. He offered her a place to stay in the home he shared with his aunt.
Lisa says she and Lake were walking home when they encountered a black SUV. Her father exited the vehicle, shouting at her. “I walked away and Jeremy tried to introduce himself, and my dad shot him,” KJRH-TV reported.
Shannon Kepler is accused of first-degree murder and shooting with intent to kill and his wife is being accused of being an accessory to murder. The Keplers are being held without bail pending formal charges.
