A tragic shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma has left one person dead and a teenager fighting for his life following an early morning incident at Hicks Park.
According to police, officers responded to reports of a fight at the park around 2 a.m. on Monday, July 6, 2026. Upon arrival, they discovered two victims in the parking lot suffering from gunshot wounds to the head.
Authorities confirmed that a 23-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. A 16-year-old boy was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition, where he remains under medical care.
Investigators say the shooting occurred after a large group of teens and young adults gathered following a party near 29th Street and Sheridan Road. After the party ended, the group reportedly moved to a nearby QuikTrip location but was asked to leave due to overcrowding. The group then relocated to Hicks Park, where a fight broke out shortly before gunfire erupted.
At this time, police have not identified any suspects or released further details about what led to the shooting. The investigation remains ongoing as detectives continue to gather evidence and speak with witnesses.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward, as even small details may assist in the investigation.
