James Paulk was a 41-year-old white man from Oklahoma City who was shot and killed in the pre-dawn hours of January 20, 2017. Police responded to a shots-fired call around 5:41 a.m.; James was found critically wounded, and his death was recorded that same day.

The exact location in Oklahoma City where James was found and what he was doing in the minutes before the shooting are not provided, and there is no publicly shared description of a suspect, vehicle, or motive. Local coverage captured a grieving father seeking justice, and his name appears on cold-case and homicide databases that continue to request information or corrections.

If anyone knew James, was in that area on January 20, 2017, or has information that could help explain what happened that morning, please come forward.
