Michael Buttrey, 48, was shot and killed in his Tulsa apartment at Parkview Terrace on the evening of June 12, 2022. Known to family and friends as Michael Scott, he loved music and family and is remembered playing drums and guitar. He lived at 1615 West 59th Street in a unit in the complex near 61st Street and Union Avenue.

A 17-year-old, identified as Darrin Corrie, went to the complex that night after an argument with his mother. Finding her not at her own apartment, he went to a different unit where she sometimes visited — Michael’s apartment — and tried to force entry. Michael closed his door; witnesses said the teen kicked and pounded at it, then fired a single shot through the closed door. The bullet struck Michael in the torso; he later died from his injuries. Police say Michael was not the person the teen had been seeking.

Corrie turned himself in to authorities the next day and was booked on charges that included first-degree murder and first-degree burglary. Online memorials and the obituary describe Michael’s survivors and a memorial service held in Broken Arrow that June. Does anyone have information about Michael’s final evening or knew him at Parkview Terrace?
