OKLAHOMA CITY – A man shot and killed at a southwest Oklahoma City hotel was a coach for a Winfield wrestling club competing in the U.S. Junior Open Wrestling Tournament.
Police found 31-year-old Kiyon Koroma dead and 22-year-old George Anderson III injured in the hotel room shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday.
Sgt. Gary Knight says Koroma, Anderson and several other adults were in the room when Anderson became upset and pulled a pistol and shot Koroma.
It wasn’t clear whether any wrestling team members were in the room or what caused Anderson to become upset.
Koroma was staying at the hotel while Winfield Wrestling Club members were in Oklahoma City for the tournament at State Fair Arena during the weekend.
Anderson is being held without bail on a first-degree murder complaint.

This is flat out horrible. At what point are we going to stand up as Americans and deal with these thugs who just run in and kill someone with no regrets. I say hell with the war on terror!!! Let clean our own country up and rid them of thugs like this. And if they want to act like this, treat them like we are at war with them and put them in guantanamo bay!
I am so tired of reading about sensless crap like this!!! Great guy… Sad deal… he was very undeserving of anything like this

I believe Oklahoma has the death penality and this was classified as 1st degree murder so lets hope this clown who did this gets what he has coming to him.
Kiyon Koroma had no kids but still gave of his time and energy to the Kansas Kids Wrestling community and the local soccer community in Winfield.
God Bless his family and the Winfield community!!
