Jeffrey was a member of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. He had 7 years of service.
Jeffrey was performing a pre-release supervision check at a home in Midwest City, Oklahoma. A male subject who lived at the home, but who was not the focus of Officer McCoy's visit, answered the door and immediately pushed Officer McCoy off of the front porch. The man then attacked him and was able to gain control of his service weapon during the ensuing struggle. The subject shot Officer McCoy at least once before fleeing back into his home.
