Kevin Leotis Grant

How they died

No

Kevin Leotis Grant was killed when his car plunged into the Oklahoma River while being chased by police. At around 1:30 a.m., officers tried to stop a other on South 19th Street in Moore that matched the description of one driven by a man suspected of violating a protective order and puncturing a tire a short time earlier. A high-speed chase ensued when Grant wouldn't stop. The pursuit continued onto I-35 until Grant went off the road and into the river just south of I-40 in south Oklahoma City. Police said Grant surfaced after the crash, but that he refused to swim toward officers and drowned.
