Thomas Reed was a 20-year-old Black man from Tulsa, Oklahoma, born January 24, 1995, and remembered in memorials under the names Thomas Reed-Stephenson, Anthony Reed-Stephenson, and Thomas Anthony Reed-Stephenson. In the small hours of a late-summer morning in August 2015, an argument near downtown Tulsa escalated into an altercation in which guns were drawn and Thomas was fatally shot; his death is recorded as a death by force.

A homicide investigation was opened, and later-compiled homicide databases list the case as solved, but there is little public narrative about any arrest, charging documents, or courtroom proceedings that followed. Funeral notices show services in early September 2015 at Greater Union Baptist Church on East 36th Street North and burial at Crown Hill Cemetery on East 66th Street North.

If anyone knew Thomas, his family, or the circumstances that night, please share what is remembered or any information that could help complete his story.
