Paul Nelson Schultz, 46, was shot in the early hours of Monday, November 20, 2023, in the parking lot of the Dollar General at 1504 N Yale Ave in Tulsa. Deputies responding just before 1:00 a.m. found him wounded; he was taken to a local hospital and died later that day.

Investigators reviewed surveillance from nearby businesses that yielded a description of a suspect and a vehicle. Canvassing the area led deputies to a residence a few blocks from the store where the described vehicle was parked. Based on the evidence, 38-year-old Thomas Lee Knox was taken into custody in connection with Schultz’s murder. Knox’s status as a tribal citizen resulted in the matter being referred to federal investigators, and he was set to be booked into the Tulsa County Jail.

Does anyone have information about Schultz, the shooting, or the vehicle seen near the Dollar General?
