William Spencer, a 19-year-old from Oklahoma City, faces first-degree murder charges after allegedly stabbing his 25-year-old brother Nicholas to death during a video game dispute. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on January 18, 2026, near Southeast 44th Street and Bryant Avenue, where William called 911 admitting to the stabbing; officers found Nicholas with multiple serious wounds, and he died at a hospital.
Altercation Details
The brothers were playing video games—possibly Fortnite—when William became enraged, leading to the fatal attack, according to police statements from Master Sgt. Gary Knight calling it a “very tragic story.” William stayed at the scene, was interviewed, and confessed to his role.
Arrest and Custody
Spencer was booked into Oklahoma County Detention Center on a $10 million bond, with no next court date specified in initial reports; this marked one of four homicides that unusual weekend in the city. The investigation continues, with tips sought via the homicide tip line.
