An Oklahoma City man allegedly killed his girlfriend and locked himself in the house with her decomposing body for “several days,” police said.
A passerby called police Saturday morning after possibly seeing a dead body in a northwest Oklahoma City home.
The suspect, 31-year-old Jake Harris, ignored responding officers’ orders to surrender and barricaded himself inside, police said.
The SWAT team rolled through the small, U-shaped road of Altadena Avenue, and was locked in an hours-long standoff until Harris allegedly opened fire, police said.

The SWAT team used a battering ram to blast through the door and fired nonlethal rounds at Harris before slapping the cuffs on him, according to police.
Officers found Amanda Miller’s dead body inside, and Oklahoma City police said they believe Harris allegedly shot the 40-year-old woman “several days” earlier.

One of Miller’s daughters, Haven Montoya, expressed her grief on Facebook.
“No, I’m not okay,” she wrote in one post. “I was a mama’s girl. That was my best friend. Ima make it to her too. I love you mommy.”
