A summer 2024 transaction outside the Casa Blanca Apartments near 61st and Peoria in Tulsa turned fatal for 41-year-old Kenneth D. Taylor Jr. A witness who knew one of the suspects said they let the suspect into the complex believing he was there to sell a firearm to Taylor. Taylor was seated in the passenger side of a vehicle when gunfire erupted and he was struck in the head.

Tulsa police officers pulled Taylor from the car and tried to render aid until paramedics arrived; he was taken to a local hospital in extremely critical condition and died on August 1, 2024. Authorities arrested one man, Joseph Green, and announced plans to charge him with first-degree murder. Police said they were seeking two other individuals who were reportedly with Green and who had also fired their weapons. No motive has been released.

Did anyone in the area see activity at the apartment complex that night or know the people involved?
