Anthony Welch, 31, was found fatally shot in a Tulsa parking lot near 31st and Yale in the early morning hours of May 28, 2019. Security personnel discovered his body about three hours after he left home; earlier that night he had briefly gone to a Walgreens around 1:30 AM, returned, then borrowed a neighbor’s car and left at about 2:00 AM for an unknown destination.

Investigators say Welch was lured through the dating app Plenty of Fish to the City Gardens Apartments near 31st Street and the Broken Arrow Expressway, where he was ambushed, robbed and shot. His phone, identification and keys were missing from the scene, and robbery is reported as the primary motive.

In September 2019, three people were arrested in connection with the killing: Satreia Turner and two teenagers, Sauntavia Crawford and Elijah Rowe. Authorities allege the 15-year-old Crawford enticed Welch to the complex, and the 16-year-old Rowe robbed and shot him; Turner was charged with accessory after the fact and Crawford and Rowe with first-degree murder.

Did anyone see Welch that night or observe unfamiliar activity around City Gardens Apartments near 31st and the Broken Arrow Expressway?
