Michael Adam Oleisky was 42 when he was shot to death inside his Tucson apartment in the early morning hours of Sunday, September 13, 2015. Neighbors near East Edison Street and North Northway Avenue reported a heated argument followed by gunshots; officers found Michael mortally wounded and his death was classified as a homicide. Witnesses saw two men running from the scene, and detectives treated the case as a home-invasion style killing.

Investigators developed leads tying the killing to a young man named Charles Allen Cole; court records later say Cole shot Michael three times. Two suspects were arrested on October 29, 2015, and prosecutors indicted Cole in November 2015, including first-degree murder. While out on pretrial release on an unrelated case, Cole sold a rifle that forensic testing linked to bullets from Michael’s homicide. Cole pleaded guilty on the second day of trial in January 2019 to second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced in March 2019 to 27½ years in prison. Michael is remembered by family and community as a devoted father, son, brother, and friend.

Does anyone have memories of Michael or information about that neighborhood in mid-September 2015 that could add context to what happened?
