In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a family member made a grim discovery on March 4, 2019, that marked a tragic end to the life of 53-year-old Anthony Todd Russell. Found within the confines of his own home, Mr. Russell had been fatally shot in the upper torso. The event registered as the city's sixth homicide of the year.
The investigation into the death of the Tulsa resident, born on June 13, 1965, quickly progressed.
Responding to the scene, the Tulsa Police Department initiated a homicide investigation. Their efforts soon led to a significant development in the case as they identified a primary suspect.
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Kevin Russell, the son of the victim, in connection with the killing. At the time the warrant was issued, Kevin Russell was already incarcerated at the Carter County Jail on charges unrelated to the death of his father. The investigation continued with a search of the residence as police worked to piece together the circumstances that led to the fatal shooting. Memorial services for Mr. Russell were scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 16, 2019, at World Won For Christ.
