Marcus Burkes, 41, was shot and killed during a violent confrontation at a duplex in a south Tulsa neighborhood on the evening of March 30, 2021. Police found him at the scene near 65th and Memorial with fatal gunshot wounds. Another man, Carlos Edwards, was critically injured after being shot in the lower torso while trying to flee; he reached a neighboring house where two people were remodeling and those witnesses were reportedly fired upon but unharmed. Authorities say the suspect fled before police arrived.

Investigators identified a suspect as Burkes’ 20-year-old son, Esuan Scott. According to an affidavit, Scott went to his father’s home that Tuesday, demanded money he believed was owed to him, and when his demands were not met allegedly shot and killed Marcus Burkes. Police described the dispute as over money and sneakers and said several pairs of Nike shoes were taken from the home. Scott was arrested on April 5, 2021, and booked on a first-degree murder warrant and a robbery charge; bond was set at $1 million and the case was proceeding through the court system.

Did anyone in the area see activity around the duplex that night or have information about the relationship between Marcus Burkes and his son?
