TULSA, Okla. — The city’s police chief had strong words of warning Saturday for the man behind the shootings that left three people dead and two more critically wounded: “We’re coming for you.”
Chief Chuck Jordan described the attacks, all of which occurred early Friday, as “vicious and cowardly.”
All five victims were black, leaving Tulsa’s black community on edge.
“We’re all nervous,” said Renaldo Works, 52, who was getting his hair cut at the crowded Charlie’s Angels Forever Hair Style Shop on Saturday morning.
“I’ve got a 15-year-old, and I’m not going to let him out late. People are scared. We need facts. You don’t want to be a prisoner in your own home,” he said.
Investigators think the incidents are linked because they happened around the same time within a 3-mile radius and all five victims were out walking when they were shot.
Officer Jason Willingham said police are searching for a white man driving a white pickup, which was spotted in the area of three of the shootings.
One victim told police the driver of the pickup stopped to ask for directions before opening fire.
There is no indication the shooter used a racial slur, police said.
At least two dozen officers are investigating the case, along with the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service, Willingham said.
“We don’t have one definitive way where this investigation is headed,” Willingham said. “Right now, that’s the only thing we have to go on."
The Rev. Warren Blakney, president of the Tulsa NAACP, said “avid distrust” between the black community and the police department had raised concerns that the shootings wouldn’t be fully investigated, and he contacted police to emphasize the need for them to work together to avoid vigilantism.
“We have to handle this because there are a number of African-American males who are not going to allow this to happen in their neighborhood,” he said. “We’re trying to quell the feeling of ‘let’s get someone,’ and we will make as certain as we can that this isn’t pushed under the rug.”
Four of Friday’s shooting victims were found in yards, and the fifth in a street. Police identified those killed as Dannaer Fields, 49, Bobby Clark, 54, and William Allen, 31.
Fields was found wounded about 1 a.m. Friday, Clark was found in a street about an hour later, and Allen was discovered in the yard of a funeral home about 8:30 a.m., though investigators believe he was shot much earlier.
Minutes after Fields was found, police found two men with gunshot wounds in another yard two blocks away. They were taken to hospitals in critical condition but were expected to survive, police said.
Willingham said those men described the shooter as being white.
“The police chief has assured me they are doing all they can,” Blakney said. “We don’t want anybody else hurt, white or black.”
