Murder of Kenneth Meers

Common card · No. 316998

On June 19, 1992, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, 31-year-old convenience store owner Kenneth Meers (November 2, 1960 – June 19, 1992) was murdered during a robbery perpetrated by two gunmen. The murderers, Glenn Bethany and Emmanuel Littlejohn, were arrested and charged with robbing and murdering Meers. Littlejohn was sentenced to death, while Bethany received a life sentence in separate trials between 1993 and 1994. A controversial point in the case was the lack of direct evidence proving who had killed Meers. Littlejohn maintained his innocence throughout his appeals, but these claims were rejected by the courts. After losing his clemency plea, Littlejohn was executed via lethal injection on September 26, 2024.
