A 16-year-old, Valin James Bell, was fatally shot in the parking lot of Midtown Park Apartments near 21st and Memorial in Tulsa on the evening of Monday, April 29, 2024. Police say the shooting began around 7 p.m. as a chaotic exchange of gunfire; another 16-year-old was also struck and taken in critical condition. Responding officers found both teenagers with gunshot wounds and Bell later died of his injuries.

Tulsa homicide detectives investigated the scene and identified an 18-year-old, Ricardo Galarza, as a suspect. He was arrested and booked on a murder complaint in connection with Bell’s death.

Are there witnesses who saw what led to the exchange of gunfire that night or who have information about the events in the parking lot?
