Do you know who murdered Pedro? In the warm evening of July 18, 2009, a Hispanic male named Pedro Sanchez, age 40, found himself in the parking lot of the Plantation Apartments, located at 4700 S. Darlington in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was sitting inside his car, engaged in a conversation with another person that had stretched for about ten minutes. The night took a violent turn when four unknown individuals suddenly approached his vehicle with the intention of robbing him at gunpoint.
During the course of the attempted
robbery, one of the suspects discharged a firearm, striking Sanchez. The assailants then fled the scene. Emergency services were called, and Sanchez was rushed to a nearby hospital. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to the gunshot wound he had sustained.
The Tulsa Police Department opened an investigation into the homicide. However, the four suspects involved in the fatal shooting of Pedro Sanchez were never identified or apprehended. The case eventually went cold, leaving his death an unsolved crime. The investigation remains open with the Tulsa Police Department's Cold Case Unit in the hopes that new information will one day lead to the arrest of those responsible for his death.
