Man killed in shooting at Tulsa home; Tulsa police search area for suspect

Tulsa police are searching for a suspect after a man was shot in the head outside his home near West 46th N and S Main Street.

Police confirmed to News On 6 that the victim was shot in the front yard of his home after an argument with the shooter and possibly other people in the back yard. Police said the victim was shot in the head but was able to run into the house, where he collapsed and died.

Captain Meulenberg said they have a rough idea of ​​who the suspect is, but are not yet ready to release his name. Police said the victim and the shooter may know each other, but it is unclear to what extent. Dozens of officers are on the scene and a Tulsa police helicopter is flying over the area near 4420 N Main St. to search for the suspect’s vehicle.

There is currently no one in custody.

Police were able to speak to several witnesses after the shooting, and Meulenberg said the Tulsa community’s help is very helpful to TPD in solving such crimes.

“Look, we can’t do this alone. We have one of the best call rates in the country. Everyone knows it. I mean, we’re pretty darn close to 100% this year, but that’s not just because we have the best officers and the best detectives, but we work with the community. And without the help of the community, we wouldn’t be nearly as successful as we are. So we work with the community to solve these crimes. So it’s absolutely critical that the community gets involved and tells us what happened to get information,” Meulenberg said.
