Yeison Gustavo-Tecun, 24, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the abdomen behind a restaurant near 21st Street and Garnett in Tulsa in the early morning of December 10, 2023. Officers who responded around 7:30 a.m. pronounced him dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives traced events to the night before. Witnesses say a verbal dispute at Imperio Night Club near 21st and 145th between Gustavo-Tecun and his friends and three other Hispanic males was broken up by security. After the club closed, both groups reportedly met again at a taco truck in a nearby parking lot, where a second altercation occurred and witnesses heard multiple shots. Two males from the second group allegedly displayed firearms.

Investigators identified the three other males as Dominic Rockie Torres, Leonel Fabian Herrera, and Noe Alberto Cruz, known as Chuckie. On December 12, 2023, 17-year-old Noe Cruz was taken into custody and charged with First-Degree Murder after witnesses identified him as the person who shot Gustavo-Tecun. The investigation was described as ongoing and additional arrests were possible.

If anyone witnessed the incidents at the nightclub or the taco truck, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with Tulsa homicide investigators.
