Jath Ralph Burns, 46, was killed after trying to break up a fight at the Uptown Club, an after-hours venue he owned near 63rd and South Peoria Avenue in Tulsa. The disturbance began inside the club in the early morning hours of Saturday, February 27, 2021, and spilled into the parking lot where shots were fired; Burns was struck and died at the scene. He was a father, fiancé and a well-known local figure who moved to Tulsa from Brooklyn, New York, and opened the Uptown Club in May 2018 with his wife.

A memorial service for Burns was held on Thursday, March 11, 2021. The shooting was described by police as a tragedy; investigators continued their work into the following months. Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing activity around the Uptown Club that morning?
