Elizabeth Long Jacob, 46, was found fatally shot in the courtyard of an apartment complex at 8303 E. 25th Place in Tulsa on the night of March 15 or early morning of March 16, 2004. Police reported a gunshot wound to the head as the cause of death.

In the weeks before her killing, Jacob had been involved in the investigation of another homicide. Anthony Overstreet’s body was found rolled in a carpet on February 21, 2004. Elizabeth was initially arrested as a suspect in that death but was later cleared and became a material witness. Police identified Luis Lara-Martinez as the likely person responsible for Overstreet’s murder; he was shot and killed by officers when they attempted to arrest him after he reportedly pointed a firearm at them.

Investigators have noted the possible connection between Jacob’s cooperation in the Overstreet case and her own murder, but no definitive link has been announced. No arrests in Jacob’s death have been made. If anyone knew Elizabeth, saw activity at 8303 E. 25th Place that night, or has information related to either killing, please contact the Tulsa Police Department.
