Donnell Mitchell

An 18-year-old man, Donnell Mitchell, was fatally shot on a Tuesday night in north Tulsa. The incident, which also left another teenager wounded, occurred on October 30, 2007, at the Comanche Park Apartments. Mr. Mitchell was a Black male.

Around 10 p.m., Tulsa Police received calls reporting gunfire at the apartment complex, located in the 3600 block of North Quaker. When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered Donnell Mitchell deceased from his injuries. His death was recorded as the city's 57th homicide of the year.

During their investigation, police learned that a second teenager had also been wounded in the shooting. That victim was transported to a Tulsa hospital by a private vehicle and was reported to be in good condition. Authorities did not release the second victim's name. The motive for the shooting was not immediately known, and investigators could not confirm if the violence was gang-related.

Police announced they were searching for three suspects in connection with the homicide. Witnesses reported seeing the three individuals leaving the apartment complex in a vehicle described as either a dark-colored or white Cadillac. One of the suspects was reportedly wearing a skeleton costume. As of October 2007, the case remains unsolved. Authorities have asked anyone with information that could help the investigation to call Crimestoppers at 596-COPS.
