Former Lawton PD officers charged with manslaughter

Two former officers from the Lawton Police Department have been charged with manslaughter in connection to an officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of Quadry Sanders in December 2021.

The Comanche County District Attorney released their decision to file criminal charges against former Lawton PD officers Nathan Ronan and Robert Hinkle on Friday, May 6, 2022.

The charges come after the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation completed a criminal investigation into the shooting involving Ronan and Hinkle.





In January 2022, Lawton City Manager terminated Ronan and Hinkle after an administrative investigation into the fatal shooting.

According to a statement from the office of the Lawton City Manager, their investigation was separate from OSBI’s, and OSBI’s investigation was criminal while the City Of Lawton’s investigation was administrative.
