On Nov. 18, 2019, at approximately 9:53 a.m. Duncan Police Department dispatch received multiple 911 calls of a shooting in the Walmart parking lot located at 3393 N. Highway 81 in Duncan. When officers arrived on scene on Row 11 of the Walmart parking lot, officers located three individuals deceased at the scene. One male was at the rear of a car and one male and one female were deceased inside the car. Officers observed multiple gunshot holes to the windshield of the car and multiple shell casings and live rounds on the ground around the car and a semi-automatic handgun was near the deceased male on the ground behind the car.
The male at the rear of the car was later identified as Wbiliado R. Varela, Jr., a 43-year-old male from Duncan, the female inside the car in the driver’s seat was identified as Rebecca N. Vescio-Varela, a 31-year-old female from Duncan, and the male in the passsenger’s seat of the car was identified as Aubrey P. Perkins, a 39-year-old male from Minco.
The scene was processed by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations Crime Scene Unit and the Duncan Police Department. Officers assisting in locating witnesses and other information included the Duncan PD, Stephens County Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney District 6 violent crime investigators, OSBI investigators, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Oklahoma Fusion Center, and many other agencies.
All witnesses on scene were taken to the Duncan police department for interviews and all evidence was collected and processed for delivery to the OSBI Lab by OSBI and DPD crime scene technicians. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner’s investigators processed the three persons and all three were later transported to the CME’s office in Oklahoma City for autopsies. The investigation is still ongoing and video from multiple locations in Duncan is being reviewed and obtained and other witnesses and tips are still being followed up on as soon as they are obtained.
All gunshots were in the parking lot and not inside Walmart.
The events at Walmart are that Vescio and Perking arrived at Walmart and went inside to go to the Money Center and then exited the store and went back to get into their car. Varela was inside a vehicle parked in front of Vescio and Perkins’ car. Varela exited the vehicle and fired multiple rounds into the windshield, striking Vescio and Perkins multiple times and then went to the rear of their car and turned the gun on himself and fired one time, killing himself.
Duncan police are still interviewing persons and reviewing video in this investigation and urge anyone with information to contact the Duncan Police Department.
