Tyler Lane Kirk, 23, was found dead in his Tulsa home in the 5600 block of North Gillette Avenue on the evening of July 3, 2022, after a family member checked on him when he stopped responding to texts. The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office responded just after 11 p.m. and confirmed Kirk had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, 23-year-old Tyler James Lewis of Coweta, described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, with red hair and hazel eyes, who was believed to be driving a black 2017 GMC Sierra Denali. Because both men were identified as Native American, the FBI joined the investigation. Lewis turned himself in on July 4, 2022, and was booked into the Tulsa County Jail. A federal grand jury later indicted him on four counts of corruptly tampering with evidence, alleging attempts between July 3 and July 4, 2022, to impair the investigation by tampering with the victim’s body, a blue shirt, a cell phone, and the truck.

Who has information about Tyler Kirk, his movements that night, or the black GMC Denali seen in the area?
