Rodney Dorsey, a 52-year-old African-American man in north Tulsa, was found dead inside his home near North Atlanta Court on the evening of January 12, 2015. His brother discovered him face down on the floor and officers arrived about 7:15 p.m. Investigators determined Rodney had suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest. There were no signs of forced entry, and neighbors reported seeing him alive only days earlier.

Detectives preserved evidence from the scene and pursued leads over the years. DNA testing nearly a decade later linked 50-year-old Tanikka West to the homicide; she was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. In April 2024 authorities also arrested 46-year-old Angela Friday on a first-degree murder warrant, and investigators indicated they did not expect to seek additional suspects. The family has described long months and years of grief while the case stayed open.

If anyone knew Rodney, his routines, or saw him in north Tulsa around early January 2015, what can be shared to help fill gaps in the timeline?
