KOKH says the affidavit has Deanna Madoux shot twice in the back of the head. KOCO says the wounds were intermediate range and does not print twice.
Kimberly Querry-Thompson's story is dated Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, at 2:55 p.m., with no zone on that clock, and it says Kotcha Doonkeen's bond is $10 million. Jason Burger's KOCO story, updated at 9:38 p.m. CST the same day, does not print a bond. Both say he is charged with first-degree murder. She was 58. He is 70.

Lying on the ground in the backyard, and dead near the backdoor with a revolver by her head, are not the same place. A fall, and a suicide with his pistol, are not the same account of what he told investigators. Intermediate range and not self-inflicted is the medical examiner's finding those pages describe. It is not a conviction. The charge is the accusation.
KOKH, by Kimberly Querry-Thompson, dated Friday, November 6, 2026, at 2:55 p.m., with no zone on that clock, reported a 70-year-old Oklahoma City man has been arrested and charged for the murder of his roommate. Charged for the murder is the grammar on that lede. It reported that on June 11, Oklahoma City police responded to a suspicious death in the 1200 block of N.W. 47th St. and found 58-year-old Deanna Madoux dead at the scene. KOCO, by Jason Burger, updated November 6, 2026, at 9:38 p.m. CST, reported an Oklahoma City man was charged with first-degree murder after his roommate was found shot to death in northwest Oklahoma City in June. The 1200 block is not on that page. Shot to death, on KOCO, and dead at the scene, on KOKH, are not the same sentence. Both pages say Kotcha Doonkeen is 70 and Deanna Madoux was 58. KOKH says the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office charged him with one count of first-degree murder and that his bond was set at $10 million. KOCO says he is in custody at the Oklahoma County Detention Center, charged with first-degree murder. It does not print the district attorney, a count number, or a bond. One count, and charged with first-degree murder, can describe the same filing. A $10 million bond is only on KOKH.
What he told investigators is not one story. KOKH reported he said he met Madoux through a friend and agreed to let her stay in one of his rental properties in exchange for cleaning the house and fixing any issues, and that she did not clean the house, pay bills, or buy groceries. KOCO reported court documents said he met her last year and agreed to let her stay as long as she cleaned it up and fixed any issued. Issued is the spelling on that page. Through a friend, and last year, are not the same meeting. KOCO reported they spent June 10 running errands, that he said he last saw her alive at about 7 a.m. June 11 in the kitchen, and that he then changed his statement and said he saw her in a different room. KOKH does not print June 10, 7 a.m., or the kitchen. KOCO reported he noticed her dog walking in the living room, which was odd because the dog never left her side, and that he said he found her dead near the backdoor of the house with a revolver near her head. It reported he claimed she must have taken his pistol from his truck. A revolver near her head, and his pistol from his truck, are both in that account. KOKH reported he said he found her lying on the ground in the backyard with congealed blood on her, that he thought she fell, that he called 911 and attempted chest compressions but stopped when blood came out her mouth, and that when he learned she had been shot he said he believed she took her own life because of mental illness. The backyard, and near the backdoor, are not the same place. A fall, and a suicide, are not the same explanation. Chest compressions and blood came out her mouth are on KOKH. They are not on the KOCO page read here.
The examination is not one sentence either. KOKH reported an investigator with the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office determined Madoux had been shot twice in the back of the head, and it quotes the affidavit: "Dr. Abreo believe[s] the gunshot wounds were 'intermediate range injuries' and not self-inflicted." The bracket around the s is in the quotation KOKH printed. Twice in the back of the head is that page's finding. KOCO reported court records said investigators with the medical examiner's office said the gunshot wounds were from intermediate range and not self-inflicted. It does not print twice, the back of the head, or Dr. Abreo. It quotes court documents that homicide investigators found evidence the body may have been moved from the place investigators felt she had been shot. KOKH says the affidavit found evidence the body may have been moved, and it does not print that quotation. KOCO reported that during an interview he said he believed someone might be out to get him, and that the case was initially ruled suspicious. KOKH's first police sentence is a report of a suspicious death. It does not print the later sentence that someone might be out to get him. Intermediate range and not self-inflicted is what those pages say the examiner found. It is not a jury's finding. The charge is what those pages describe. It does not print a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

WJLA says Judge Neal Kravitz found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. NBC4 says he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Voluntary manslaughter while armed, and voluntary manslaughter, and manslaughter, are not the same count. A bench outside Father O'Connell Hall, and a park on the campus, and a small plaza by that hall, and the 600 block of Alumni Lane, are not the same place. Brookland-CUA Metro, and Brookland Metro, and Brookland-Catholic University Metro, are not the same station line. Snapchat messages, and a message, and an urgent message, are not the same account. Cash App, and cash app, and $300 with no app named, are not the same line. Judge Kravitz accepted the plea and found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. A 12-to-15-year range is not the sentence. Sentencing has not happened.
