In the summer of 2017, the life of a Tulsa teenager, Darrin LaShaun 'Da Da' Wilson, was tragically cut short at the age of 16. On June 8, 2017, the young man was found murdered, his death the result of gun violence. The discovery sent ripples of grief through his family and community, leaving them to mourn the untimely loss of a boy described as a sweet and loving child with a smile that could melt hearts.
Darrin was a student at East Central High School and was known to have a love for
children. In the wake of his death, his family was faced with the unexpected financial burden of a funeral, leading them to seek support from the community to give him a proper burial. The pain of their loss was compounded by the lack of immediate answers surrounding the circumstances of his death.
A year after Darrin's killing, his family continued to publicly seek justice, indicating that the investigation into his murder remained ongoing and that no arrests had been made. Their plea for answers highlighted the lingering questions and the deep void left by his absence. To date, information regarding any identified suspects or arrests in connection with the murder of Darrin LaShaun 'Da Da' Wilson has not been made publicly available.
