Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
A transient man, Cameron Lynn, has been sentenced to life imprisonment following his conviction for first-degree murder in Indian Country. The U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell handed down the sentence, which includes an additional 120 months for discharging a weapon during a crime of violence. Lynn was also found guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury, both sentenced concurrently at 120 months each.
U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson commented on the sentencing: "Cameron Lynn maliciously took the life of Alcides Monroig and assaulted another. This life sentence, plus an additional ten years, will ensure Lynn is no longer a danger to anyone in the Northern District." Johnson acknowledged the efforts of detectives, agents, and prosecutors involved in the case.
The incident occurred on February 24, 2024, when Tulsa Police responded to a shooting near railroad tracks in a wooded area. Officers discovered two victims in tents; one victim was transported to a hospital with abdominal injuries while Alcides Monroig died at the scene. According to testimonies, Lynn approached their encampment claiming he was searching for his belongings and opened fire when asked to leave.
Witnesses reported seeing Lynn heading towards the encampment before hearing gunshots. Afterward, Lynn allegedly claimed self-defense as he fled the scene.
Lynn is affiliated with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and will remain in custody until transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. The case was investigated by the Tulsa Police Department and FBI and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kenneth Elmore and Stephen Flynn.
This case falls under Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), aimed at reducing violent crime through collaboration between law enforcement agencies and communities.
