Tulsa Police Improve Solve Rate, Seek Tips on Unsolved Homicides

  • Summary

  • Tulsa Police Department's recent crime reports include the following incidents:

    - **December 29, 2024**: A 10-year-old boy was injured by a stray bullet at the Autumn Ridge Apartments near 21st and Memorial. The child was asleep in his room when a bullet struck him after coming through the wall. Investigators believe the shot came from a bar parking lot to the west of the complex. The case is under investigation, and police are seeking help identifying a person of interest. Case number: 2024-067760.

    - **General Update**: The Tulsa Police Department achieved a 100% solve rate for all 50 homicides in 2024. This success is attributed to a team effort by the entire department and the community, including the help of other units like the crime gun unit and warrants unit.

    - **Unsolved Cases from 2023**: Two homicides from 2023 remain unsolved. The murder of Nicari Owens occurred at a club, and despite many witnesses, no one has stepped forward with information. The other case involves Terence McElwee, who was shot at while leaving the Kickback Club on July 30, 2023. Police are still seeking information on these cases.

    - **Trends and Patterns**: The 100% solve rate in 2024 indicates a significant improvement in law enforcement efforts, particularly in collaboration with the community and other units.

    - **Emergency Contact Information**: For tips on unsolved cases or recent incidents, please contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and rewards are offered for information leading to an arrest.
