Anthony Lydell Jackson was 21 when he was ambushed and fatally shot inside the Hood Food Store at 4538 North Cincinnati Avenue in north Tulsa on the morning of January 17, 2004. He went into the store shortly after 9:30 a.m. to buy cigarettes. Witnesses and the clerk saw a man enter and open fire at point-blank range; Anthony was struck multiple times, including in the head, and died at a hospital soon after.

Detectives described the killing as not random and said they believed it was linked to ongoing gang rivalries; a separate shooting a week later near Anthony’s home was thought possibly connected. Despite numerous witnesses, police were unable to develop a solid suspect and the shooter remains publicly unidentified. Anthony is remembered by family and his church community for his faith, work with youth, singing in the choir, and recent graduation from McLain High School.

Did anyone who knew Anthony or who was in that area in January 2004 witness something that could help identify the shooter?
