Do you know what happened to Charles?
The second search has provided some crucial context and a few more specific details. We now know that Charles Gregory Markham was also known as Charles Summers and Charlie Woo. His death on January 16, 2004, is explicitly linked to a series of gang-related murders. A court case, SUMMERS v. STATE, reveals he had a wife named Brandi Summers and a brother-in-law, Phillip Summers. This case also mentions a belief among a gang called the Hoovers that a rival gang member, Bud Tennyson of the Neighborhood Crips, was responsible for Charlie Woo's murder. This provides a potential, though unconfirmed, suspect or at least a strong lead in the investigation from that time.

However, the search results still lack a detailed narrative of the specific events leading to Markham's death. While it's clear it was part of a larger gang conflict, the immediate circumstances of his murder remain elusive. There is no information about arrests directly related to his murder, only that 'several suspects' were identified in the broader series of gang killings. His age and ethnicity are still not mentioned in the search results.

To fulfill the user's request for a detailed, story-like synopsis, more information about the gang war in Tulsa in 2004 would be beneficial. Understanding the dynamics of the conflict between the Hoovers and the Neighborhood Crips could help in creating a more narrative-driven account. I also still need to try and find his age. I will proceed with a third step to try and gather these missing details.
