The Sirloin Stockade Massacre

On July 16, 1978, one of Oklahoma’s most haunting mass murders unfolded just before midnight at the Sirloin Stockade restaurant in Oklahoma City. Located near SW 74th and Pennsylvania Avenue, the family steakhouse became the site of unimaginable horror when three armed intruders forced six teenage and adult employees into the walk-in freezer during closing hours, where they were gunned down.Five of the employees died on the spot. A sixth died en route to the hospital. The victims included: David Lindsey (17), David Salsman (16), Anthony Tew (17), Terri Horst (15), Louis Zacarias (43), Isaac Freeman (56)Oklahoma City was stunned. And just weeks before, another family—Melvin and Linda Lorenz and their 12-year-old son—had also been killed on the highway, just south of town. Police would eventually connect the two scenes.Join me as I discuss these cases around the 47th anniversary of the killings.Advocacy. Investigation. Education.
