Del City police had their body cameras rolling the night they confronted the 29-year-old victim’s caretaker Jennifer Wendt at her home
“I was actually at the scene that night,” said Major Michael Arterbury
Major Michael Arterbury said the victim had been living at the home since January
Her family became concerned in March when they did not hear from her
we need to get her out of there,’” said Arterbury
Police described the victim as having a "diminished mental capacity," but she was able to describe the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of Wendt
along with roommates Cody Linnell and Schotte-Shaun Wengland
Court documents said Wendt routinely hit the victim with scissors
The victim told police she was punished for stealing vapes and “not doing what she was told.” A resident in the home told police Wendt and Wengland would put a collar on the victim and walk her around like a dog
“There were multiple people in the house,” said Arterbury
“I don’t know how they could have not seen it and thought to report this.”
Police said doctors confirmed the type of abuse and torture the victim endured based on her injuries
“You’re talking about a young woman who is literally injured over every part of her body from head to toe.”
Police say four people have been arrested in connection to the abuse or failing to report the abuse
Three of the five suspects have been charged with kidnapping
Police said Wengland is on the run and ask citizens to call 911 if they know his whereabouts
Doctors told police the victim not only had a skull fracture and multiple broken bones but that she was suffering from pneumonia and sepsis and was in kidney failure

Oklahoma City released new numbers revealing the city's state of homelessness
but more resources are needed to continue that mission
Experts said solutions start with people who believe their neighbors are worth saving
1882 people experience homelessness in OKC
Families experiencing homelessness climbed 13%
and OKC’s transitional housing population grew 6%
5 areas of homelessness decreased from last year
Oklahoma City veterans experiencing homelessness decreased by 6%
75% of people became homeless in Oklahoma City
and they have nowhere else to go,” said OKC Mayor David Holt at Tuesday’s State of Homelessness Address
compared to larger cities and OKC’s growth over time
Key to Home implementation manager Jamie Caves felt optimistic
“Because we have significantly reduced the growth,” Caves said
The city said the number of people experiencing chronic homelessness fell by 43% since 2023
4 organizations working to save their neighbors
Caves said solutions begin with people who fight for their neighbors. Countless organizations are working to help people in the metro
“The service providers who are out there every day doing the heavy lifting on the ground,” Caves said
People like Erin Goodin at City Rescue Mission
Goodin said the parents she works with who experience homelessness do the best they can with the hand they’ve been dealt
“Just because they’re homeless does not make them a bad parent,” said Goodin
Whitley O’Connor at Curbside Apparel and his team provide job training for people transitioning out of homelessness
“I want to provide those opportunities to others the same way I got them,” said O’Connor
while Curbside staff prepared shirts for the Thunder’s playoff run
Curbside Apparel ensures folks like Darren Chance get a second chance in life
“Somebody to help you and give you a hand up,” Chance said
Caves said people like Meghan Mueller and her team at the Homeless Alliance are essential in helping provide meals and shelter to hundreds of Oklahomans
“Remembering the humanity of an issue like homelessness is really important as we dream about a future where this problem doesn’t exist,” Mueller said
Key to Home has housed 342 people since 2023 and is on track to house 500 people by the end of the year
“It’s part of our community and part of our collective responsibility to help support folks.”
OKC added 500 affordable housing units through its Encampment Rehousing Initiative
Government Affairs Director at Oklahoma City Metropolitan Association of REALTORS
said people have an outdated perspective about affordable housing
He said people think of a home as a house with a yard
There aren’t enough of those homes to keep up with demand
The average home costs about $200,000 in OKC and can be higher based on location
Jones said a third of people can’t get a loan for those homes
Maps 4 has invested about $55 million in affordable housing
A $6.5 million investment from OKC will turn the Bricktown Motel 6 into affordable housing units to improve this issue. About $55 million is set aside for various projects

A doorbell camera captured police at a Del City home where they arrested a mother accused of child abuse
The child’s mother sat down with News 9 to share her side
claims she’s never abused any of her children
She says for the past two years her child has been troubled--oftentimes acting out and lying
“She wants to have her way and it's her way or no way,” said the child’s mother Sheena Johnson
Johnson says her daughter made false claims about her to classmates
“Said I was supposed to kick her out between 6:00 and 7:00 that night
Johnson says Child Protective Services responded to her house and then left
“They did an interview with all of my kids
Johnson says her child continued to make false allegations and later told school officials her mother was abusing her

The allegations triggered a police response and a search of Johnson’s home on Jan
Johnson arrived home and was arrested on her front lawn
“When we pulled up there were about 12 to 16 Del City police officers,” said Johnson
Hospital officials told police that Johnson's daughter had injuries consistent with abuse
“It’s obvious my child is acting out,” said Johnson
Johnson denied harming her daughter but admitted to handcuffing her to prevent the child from running away--something she claims her daughter had done before
So she wouldn’t take off I had her at the refrigerator,” said Johnson
Johnson's eldest son was murdered while working at an Edmond restaurant
Johnson says she’s held her children even tighter
I’m nothing without my kids,” said Johnson
She says she wants her daughter to do the right thing
I want her to understand she’s not going to be in trouble if she tells the truth,” said Johnson
A police officer said he did observe burn marks on the child in various stages of healing
Police also said Johnson's other children told investigators they had not been abused
and they corroborated their sibling’s allegations

A spokesperson said the department could not comment on this specific case
