David Gilbert was 26 when he was shot to death in north Tulsa on January 23, 2007, one of four homicides the city experienced in a single twenty-four-hour span. He and 30-year-old Christopher Moderow were each found shot in the head at scenes only blocks apart along East Haskell and East Independence, prompting investigators to treat the killings as possibly related. Patrol cars and crime-scene tape marked off neighborhood streets while detectives worked through a cluster of violence.

Witnesses and later reporting linked Gilbert’s death to 19-year-old Joshua Julius Anderson, alleging an earlier argument at a local store left Anderson angry and that he sought Gilbert out and shot him in revenge. Anderson was arrested days later and confessed to four murders committed during a short killing spree, but prosecutors concluded the evidence tying him to Gilbert’s death was insufficient for a murder charge. Gilbert’s homicide therefore remains officially unresolved on the charging records, even though many in the neighborhood consider him a likely fifth victim of the same gunman.

Does anyone have information about Gilbert’s last known movements or the altercation at the store that could clarify what happened that day?
