    On the morning of Sunday, April 6, Tulsa police responded to reports of a shooting near East Archer Street and North 123rd Avenue in East Tulsa.

  • Tulsa Crime Report: Decline in Violent Crimes, Staffing Challenges Persist

    Tulsa Crime Report: Decline in Violent Crimes, Staffing Challenges Persist
    Mar 31 2025
    On March 24, 2025, University of Tulsa Security received a Cane Cares report that is under investigation. The incident occurred both on campus and online. The matter has been referred to Student Affairs, Human Resources, and the Physical Plant for review.

    On March 25, 2025, Tulsa police responded to a QuikTrip where a woman was allegedly stabbed in the stomach. A suspect was taken into custody in connection with the incident.

    On March 29, 2025, officers were called to a parking lot where a man had been shot multiple times in the chest. The victim was transported to a local hospital. The case remains under investigation.

    In late March, authorities conducted a manhunt for Billy Wayne Williams, who was wanted for allegedly shooting a Webbers Falls police officer during a traffic stop. Williams was subsequently arrested in Grants, New Mexico. The injured officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is reportedly recovering at home.

    Tulsa police ticketed the driver of a Corvette for allegedly traveling nearly 130 mph in a 65 mph zone on the Broken Arrow Expressway.

    At an apartment complex near 61st and Peoria, police responded to reports of vandalism after a Tesla was spray-painted. The suspect was captured on camera and police are seeking information from the public.

    In a positive development, Tulsa's crime rates have shown an overall decline, with violent crimes notably decreasing. Homicides are down 20% over the last 4 years, and there has been a 50% drop in shooting with intent to kill cases since 2021. Gun thefts have also decreased by 30%, which may be contributing to the reduction in violent crime.

    Property crimes have also seen improvements. Auto theft rates, which had been rising since 2020, decreased by 18% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Residential burglaries dropped by 14%, while nonresidential burglaries decreased by 10%. Larcenies saw a 6% reduction.

    However, shoplifting incidents increased by 24% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, bucking the overall downward trend in property crimes.

    The Tulsa Police Department attributes some of these improvements to technological advancements, such as the Real Time Information Center, which has helped mitigate the impact of officer shortages.

    Despite these positive trends, the department continues to face staffing challenges, currently operating with about 800 officers, which is approximately 140 officers short of full staffing levels.

    Citizens with information about any of these incidents or other criminal activity are urged to contact the Tulsa Police Department at (918) 596-9222 or Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-COPS. For emergencies, always call 911.
