One dead, seven wounded in Tulsa Juneteenth Festival
|
| Tulsa Police Department Facebook post. |
Overnight, one person lost his life and seven others were injured by gunfire.
On June 21st at 11:00 PM, Officers working at the busy Juneteenth Festival heard shots ring out, and chaos erupted as people began running in multiple directions.
While trying to regain control of the area, a 22-year-old man was struck and killed under the overpass on Greenwood. Seven other individuals, ranging in age from 17 to an elderly woman, were hit by gunfire and transported to local hospitals for treatment.
Currently, at least one 24-year-old man is in critical condition.
As Officers cleared the Greenwood area, many people fled into other parts of downtown, causing disturbances throughout the Blue Dome area.
Numerous bars exceeded capacity and called the Tulsa Police Department for assistance in managing the overflow. With help from the Tulsa Fire Department Fire Marshals and a significant presence from TPD personnel, officials were able to stabilize the downtown area.
The crime scene extended over several blocks, and all of Greenwood was closed from the I-244 overpass to John Hope Franklin Boulevard.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) was called in to assist with documenting the crime scene using their FARO unit, while our Crime Scene Investigators collected all the evidence.
Several individuals we interviewed were unwilling to provide much information about the shooters, and others were unsure where the shots had originated.
At this time, we believe there were at least two different shooters, and it remains unclear who the intended targets were.
This is still a very active investigation, coming right after a weekend of shootings at three other locations with numerous victims.
If you have any information about this incident or any of the other shootings, please call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
