TULSA, Okla. — A car crash led to finding a man fatally shot near 61st St. North and Utica in 2011.
Investigators still want to know who killed Deandre Dickerson and why.
A Tulsa county deputy working a traffic stop on Jan. 30, 2011 when a driver pulls up to tell him about a car wreck near his home.
The driver said the windshield wipers were still running on the car, and a man laid beside it.
“Sure enough, there was a red Oldsmobile with the wipers still running, and it had run through the fence of the property,” said Tulsa County Sheriff’s Investigator Ed Jackson. “That's when he noticed the truck leaving the scene and told his wife to call 911."
Deputies found no personal items on the body, but later determined the victim is Deandre Dickerson, and an autopsy showed he was shot multiple times.
Jackson said deputies quickly spotted evidence around the crash site, including empty shell casings in the backseat and on the floorboard.
Right now, a motive isn’t clear in this case, but Jackson said they were familiar with Dickerson.
“Deandre was a gangster. He was a gang member,” said Jackson.
Deputies say there is a strong code of silence among gang members, and that makes solving this case very difficult.
