James H. Cooper, 62, was fatally shot in a Tulsa parking lot on the evening of July 23, 2015, after finishing a regular game of tennis with friends. A Black man remembered in the community for athleticism, a successful career, and mentoring young athletes, Cooper was a graduate of Lincoln University and the University of Tulsa and had raised a family in the city.

The shooting has been described as a senseless act of violence. Despite an initial investigation and public appeals from his family, no suspect has been publicly identified and no arrest has been announced. The case has grown cold and remains an open, unsolved homicide.

Did anyone in Tulsa know James Cooper or see anything in that parking lot on the night of July 23, 2015 that could help bring answers?
