Donnell Mitchell, an 18-year-old Black man, was fatally shot the night of October 30, 2007, at the Comanche Park Apartments in north Tulsa. Police received calls of gunfire about 10 p.m. in the 3600 block of North Quaker; officers found Mitchell deceased at the scene. His death was recorded as Tulsa’s 57th homicide of the year.

A second teenager was also wounded and taken to a Tulsa hospital by a private vehicle; that victim was reported in good condition and their name was not released. Investigators said the motive was not immediately known and could not confirm any gang connection. Witnesses described three suspects leaving in a dark-colored or white Cadillac; one was reportedly wearing a skeleton costume. As of October 2007, the case remained unsolved.
