Charles Rudolph Lewis was 44 and a Korean War veteran when he was shot to death at his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On the morning of May 14, 1976, he was found lying on the ground next to his vehicle in the driveway of 1322 N. Elwood. The shooting was treated as a deliberate act of violence and the Tulsa Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

The initial inquiry did not produce any arrests or publicly identified suspects, and the case eventually went cold. Decades later the Tulsa Police Department Cold Case Unit still lists his murder as open and unsolved. Very little else about the circumstances has been released, and questions about motive and events leading up to the shooting remain unanswered.

If anyone knew Charles Lewis, or recalls the neighborhood or events around May 14, 1976, please share information with the Tulsa Police Cold Case Unit.
