OKLAHOMA COUNTY -
The Oklahoma County District Attorney amended The Village police officer Chance Avery’s criminal charge during his preliminary hearing Wednesday morning.
Avery was charged in the 2020 officer-involved shooting that killed Christopher Poor. The charge was amended from manslaughter to second-degree murder.
Avery’s attorney Gary James said his preliminary hearing was continued to allow time to prepare witnesses.
One of the witnesses could be Poor’s estranged wife Melissa Poor. She let him in their home last July to gather his belongings. She also called The Village police to be there.
Avery responded to the domestic call and was wearing his body camera at the scene. Poor, a man with a violent past, confronted the officer with a bat.

(OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok.) Five Oklahoma police officers were charged with manslaughter Wednesday in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old armed robbery suspect last year.
In November, Stavian Rodriguez was killed after officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at an Oklahoma City gas station, authorities said.
The owner of the gas station managed to leave and lock Rodriguez inside as officers surrounded the business, police said. Rodriguez was shot after he climbed out the drive-thru window, police said.
Security camera footage released by the Oklahoma County District Attorney s Office Wednesday shows Rodriguez emerge from the convenience store building as officers yell for him to show his hands, lay on the ground and drop his firearm. Rodriguez can be seen dropping a gun on the ground and reaching toward his back pocket before the officers open fire.
