On the night of May 27, 1999, Reginald Leonard Young was driving a borrowed vehicle westbound on 27th Street North in Tulsa when he heard a burst of about ten gunshots and was struck in the back. He called 911, reported being shot while driving, and lost control; the car ran off the road and crashed into a house at 112 East 27th Street North. The wound did not kill him immediately but left him paralyzed from the waist down and with long-term medical complications.

Nearly four years later, on May 10, 2003, Young died; the Oklahoma medical examiner ruled his death directly caused by complications from the 1999 gunshot. Tulsa police treat the case as a homicide and list it among unsolved cold cases. Records say only that he heard a volley of shots and was hit in the back; no suspects, motives, or arrests are identified in the files.

Does anyone have information about that stretch of 27th Street North on the night of May 27, 1999, or remember seeing a borrowed car involved in the crash?
