Adrian Yancey Titsworth Jr was 13 when he was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head on July 29, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was discovered seated in the back of a Hyundai Sonata that had been reported stolen earlier that day; officers located the vehicle just after midnight at 51st Place North and North Frankfort Avenue. The car was riddled with bullets. Adrian was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. Several other juveniles were in the vehicle but were not physically harmed.

Family members described Adrian as an outgoing straight-A student who loved sports and had a playful sense of humor. They say he left home with his brothers because he did not want to be alone and was unaware the car had been stolen. The Youth Peace & Justice Foundation and the family have raised funds for funeral expenses and a $2,500 reward has been offered for information leading to identification, arrest, and prosecution. Homicide detectives are investigating and no arrests or named suspects have been announced.

Did anyone in Tulsa see the Hyundai Sonata around 51st Place North and North Frankfort Avenue that night or have information about who was in or near the car?
