On the evening of December 7, 2018, Tom Lee, a 28-year-old Black man, and his friend Don’Trae Mason, 25, were found shot to death in an apartment at Wood Creek Apartments near 61st Street and Peoria Avenue in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A friend discovered their bodies after coming to check on them, and the Tulsa Police Department opened an investigation that initially produced few leads.

Detectives later identified two suspects, Emanuel Ralstin and Eddie Tom Hoebing. Police and court testimony described the killings as the result of a planned robbery tied to the theft of marijuana and money; both victims were shot multiple times. Ralstin and Hoebing were charged with first-degree murder and convicted; each received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
