In a tragic turn of events on a Friday afternoon in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 34-year-old Micah Goff was fatally shot, and his 16-year-old son was left in critical condition. The incident, which unfolded around 12:30 p.m. on June 2, 2023, near 54th Street North and MLK Jr. Blvd, prompted a swift response from Tulsa police officers. Upon their arrival, they discovered both Goff and his son with gunshot wounds and immediately rushed them to a nearby hospital, where Micah Goff ultimately succumbed to his
injuries.
The investigation into the shooting quickly revealed a prearranged meeting for a gun exchange that took a violent turn. Surveillance footage from the scene played a crucial role in identifying two teenage suspects: 16-year-old Terry Buckley and 17-year-old Treston Buckley. According to detectives, the Buckley teenagers had arranged to meet with Goff's son with the intention of robbing him. During the course of the robbery, one or both of the suspects opened fire, striking both Micah Goff and his son before fleeing with the firearms.
In the days following the shooting, the two suspects turned themselves in to the authorities. Both Terry and Treston Buckley were arrested and subsequently charged with First-Degree Murder, Shooting With Intent to Kill, and Robbery with a Firearm for their alleged roles in the deadly encounter. The community was left to grapple with the senseless violence that claimed the life of a father and left his son fighting for his.
