Google Street View

Tulsa Police are investigating a late-night murder. A man was found dead inside an apartment at 6900 South Trenton. 

Police were initially called to the Avondale apartments on what is called a “welfare check”. When officers arrived they found the man dead inside. Police believe he was the victim of a robbery. 

A news release from the Tulsa Police Department did not say how the man died. The department says no names will be released until they locate the man’s next of kin. 

This is Tulsa’s 59th homicide of the year.
