In the early morning hours of February 28, 2010, Antonio Tony Verner, a Black father of two young boys, was shot multiple times outside the Chicken Hut restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The shooting occurred in front of a large crowd—estimates put 100 to 150 people at the scene—but many bystanders reportedly stepped over Verner’s body and continued placing food orders. Emergency services transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Tulsa Police investigators say the investigation was immediately impeded by widespread reluctance to cooperate among those who were present, a refusal authorities have attributed to a prevailing no-snitch culture. Verner’s family, including his sister and mother, have held public pleas and candlelight vigils seeking information. No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced, and the case remains open and unsolved.

If anyone was at the Chicken Hut that morning or has information that could help bring Antonio Verner’s killer to justice, please come forward.
