On March 29, 2011, the body of 19-year-old Kendrich A. Shelton, a Black male, was discovered lying in a field in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The young man, who had aspirations of studying business at Tulsa Community College, was found at 2000 N. Quaker Ave. His life had been cut short, and the circumstances of his death immediately launched a homicide investigation.
In the years that have followed, the case of Kendrich Shelton's death has remained unsolved, a lingering shadow for his family and the
Tulsa community. Law enforcement officials investigated the case, and at one point, there was a person of interest identified in connection with the homicide. However, despite this lead, no arrests have ever been made, and no suspects have been formally charged. The investigation has grown cold, leaving more questions than answers.
The absence of a resolution in his case has been a source of ongoing frustration and pain for those who knew him. With no one held accountable for his death, the full story of what happened to Kendrich Shelton in that field remains untold. The case stands as a quiet testament to a life lost and a plea for justice that has yet to be answered.
