On the evening of August 16, 2025, a violent encounter near 36th and Yale in Tulsa left 32-year-old Heather Martinez dead. The shooting happened about 6:07 PM after an argument; witnesses said a person in a red car got out, opened fire on a gray Suburban in which Martinez was a passenger, and then sped away. Martinez was struck in the head and found unresponsive at the scene. A 50-year-old man was also shot and hospitalized, but was expected to recover.

Tulsa Police identified the suspect vehicle as a red Camaro and by August 18 had arrested Jacqueline Hull, who was booked on a charge of 1st Degree Murder. Authorities later identified 44-year-old Mark Burleson as the suspected shooter; he was located and arrested in Ponca City and was to be returned to Tulsa to face murder charges. Police said the shooting was not random road rage and that the individuals knew each other. Martinez, a mother of five, was survived by her children, who were placed with their aunt and grandmother; a GoFundMe organized by her sister was started to help with funeral costs and care for the children.

Does anyone have information about the events leading up to the August 16 confrontation or about the people involved?
