On the evening of July 10, 2011, 27-year-old Kanisha Jackson and her 28-year-old boyfriend, Bryan Mitchell, were found fatally shot inside their north Tulsa home in the 600 block of 53rd Street North. A relative, who had been speaking on the phone with Mitchell about 20 minutes earlier, discovered blood visible through a window and alerted a passing officer. The back door was open and both victims were lying in separate rooms; no weapons were recovered and police ruled out a murder-suicide.

Jackson worked as a teacher’s assistant at Hawthorne Elementary and was the mother of a five-year-old daughter who was not at the house. Investigators found drugs inside the residence and treated the case as a double homicide, with Mitchell believed to have been the probable target; the lack of forced entry suggested the victims may have known their killer. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in Tulsa know Kanisha or Bryan and have information that could help bring answers to their families?
