TULSA, Okla. — No one's seen David Michael Jackson since 2009.
He walked in a neighborhood in east Tulsa on Oct. 31 the last time anyone saw him. Investigators don't even have a photo of him.
Tulsa police Lt. Brandon Watkins told 2 News what happened before someone shot Jackson.
"People had seen him walking and then they saw him lying in the street whenever they passed by again and then they called police," said Watkins.
Police said Jackson had several gunshot wounds in his torso.
"Detectives interviewed several people who had been with him earlier in the day and they said that he had been drinking and occasionally become aggressive and violent when he was drinking. So, that's a possibility in my opinion for what, why he got shot," said Watkins.
Police said Jackson often frequented the same areas.
"The family did say that he frequented that area looking for drugs," said Watkins.
However, the lack of evidence made it difficult for investigators to solve.
"It's horrible. You go back that far and we didn't have quite as many cameras as we do nowadays that kind of catch the street and there were a lot of things that made this one tough," Watkins said.
He hopes someone comes forward with new information to shed light on this case.
"There is somebody out there that knows something who has talked to somebody who was involved in this, and our hope is that person will reach out and call us and talk to us," said Watkins.
Anyone with information about the death of David Michael Jackson can call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
