A 32-year-old woman was shot and killed and a 50-year-old man was left seriously injured near East 36th Street and South Yale Avenue Saturday afternoon according to Tulsa Police.

On August 16 near 6:07 p.m., TPD responded to a shooting and found the woman, unresponsive, and the other victim with gunshot wounds to the chest. Officers say witnesses saw a red car shoot at a gray Suburban before driving away.

Officials say the woman was shot in the head and died from her injuries. The male victim was stabilized at the scene by first responders and is expected to recover at the hospital.

Witnesses also described to TPD what led up to the incident. The man driving the red car got out and began arguing with the victims before the shooting began. The suspect left the scene soon after witnesses heard two to five gunshots, officials say.

Investigators have ruled out a road rage scenario, and say that even with no known motive, they are determining that this was not a random attack.

Police are asking people with any additional information on the incident to call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.

This is an ongoing investigation.
