Mother and daughters share eyewitness account of murder and survival days before killer’s execution
SUMMARY: In 2005, Oklahoma mother Amber Matthews, her two daughters, and a family friend were attacked by Wendell Grissom and Jesse Floyd. Grissom shot Matthews multiple times, killing her friend and nearly killing her daughters, who survived. Grissom’s execution was delayed for years, with appeals forcing the family to relive the trauma. At his clemency hearing in 2022, Matthews’ adult daughters spoke out, detailing the horrific attack, including their mother’s sacrifice to protect them. Grissom, now 56, was denied clemency. Despite ongoing grief, the family continues healing, with Matthews’ daughters sharing their story to help others.

For the past 20 years, an Oklahoma mother and her two daughters have been healing after an armed robber murdered their family friend and tried to kill them, too.

Oklahoma City officer involved in rough arrest resigns
SUMMARY: Oklahoma City police officer Joseph Gibson has resigned following a controversial arrest of a 71-year-old man during an October traffic stop. The incident, which involved the elderly man being slammed to the ground, garnered national attention and raised community calls for accountability. Although Gibson was initially charged with assault, the Oklahoma Attorney General ultimately dropped the charges. The local Fraternal Order of Police expressed support for Gibson, while community members remain dissatisfied, feeling that resignation does not equate to accountability. Former Attorney General Mike Hunter, representing the victim, criticized Gibson’s actions, stating he should acknowledge his wrongdoing.
