Hearing delayed for ex-officer in boyfriend shooting case
Updated 3:28 pm, Monday, March 21, 2016
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A hearing for a former Tulsa police officer accused in the off-duty fatal shooting of his daughter's boyfriend has been delayed.
Judge Sharon Holmes rescheduled Monday's hearing for Shannon Kepler until May 16. Kepler's attorneys want Holmes to recuse himself because she used to be an assistant district attorney, but she has refused.
Kepler had been scheduled to go on trial in January for the 2014 death of 19-year-old Jeremey Lake.

Authorities allege Kepler shot Lake after Lake introduced himself as Lisa Kepler's boyfriend.

Oklahoma Teen Whose Dad Is Accused of Killing Boyfriend: 'Why?"
Aug 7 2014, 4:48 pm ET
An Oklahoma teen is in disbelief over the death of her boyfriend, who she says her father — a police officer — killed, even though the two didn't know each other.
"He is the kindest person. He is the most protective person and a good person who helped the homeless," Lisa Kepler, 18, told NBC News on Thursday of Jeremey Lake, 19, who was shot to death Tuesday night. "I don't know why my dad did this."
Kepler's parents, husband-and-wife police officers in Tulsa, have been arrested in the murder. Kepler said she hasn't spoken to them.
. . .
Kepler told NBC affiliate KJRH in Tulsa that her parents had kicked her out of the house and she met Lake at a homeless shelter a week ago. She said she and Lake were walking near his aunt's house on Tuesday night, when her father pulled up in his car. “There was no argument. I walked away, and Jeremey tried to introduce himself, and my dad shot him,” she said, crying. She said she knew Lake “really less than a week, but he was my everything.”
