Leslie Looper was a Tulsa bar owner who was attacked on the evening of October 2, 1996, as he was leaving his own establishment. An unknown person confronted Looper in his truck in what police believe was an attempted robbery; the suspect stabbed him in the chest. Looper died of his wounds four days later, on October 6, 1996.

The case remains unsolved and is listed among the Tulsa Police Department’s cold homicide files. No suspect has been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Authorities have periodically asked the public for help, but the person responsible has never been brought to justice.

If anyone remembers seeing something near Looper’s bar or truck on October 2, 1996, or has information that could help this long-cold case, please contact the Tulsa Police Department.
