Mountain Park, OK – On March 14, 2025, the Mountain Park Police Department requested the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to investigate a homicide.

Around 2:30 a.m., officers responded to a shooting call at a residence off State Highway 183 in Mountain Park. When officers arrived on scene, they discovered 63-year-old Sandy Killian deceased. It was determined Killian passed away from apparent gunshot wounds.

During the investigation, OSBI special agents processed the scene and identified the suspect as 53-year-old Chad Carl Cummings.

Based on the information and evidence obtained, the Kiowa County District Court issued a search warrant for Cummings’ residence.

On March 13, 2026, a Kiowa County jury found Cummings guilty and recommended life in prison for First-Degree Murder, plus ten years for Possession of a Firearm After Felony Conviction.

The OSBI would like to thank the Mountain Park Police Department, Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, Washita County Sheriff's Office, Snyder Police Department, Kiowa County District Attorney’s Office, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for their continued assistance with this investigation.
