TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Police said a man who was shot on Wednesday around 2:15 a.m. while breaking into a car near 91st and Mingo has died.

FOX23 went back to the area later that afternoon and spoke with people who live in the neighborhood.

Witnesses said they saw a woman doing chest compressions on the man.

Tulsa Police Lt. Kyle Murray described what they saw when they got there.

“They found a black sedan that had gone up on the curb at the end of the street and found a man that was suffering from a gunshot wound,” Murray said.

The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition where police said he later died.

Officers said they soon learned a nearby resident was the shooter who was reportedly defending his property.

“The homeowner had come out and saw someone was getting into the vehicle. Not sure what was going on but a shot was fired,” Murray said.

FOX23 spoke with a neighbor who asked for her name not to be used.

She said she was awake and heard the commotion, but could not see what was happening up the street.

“Just a concerned neighbor because we had a car stolen last month across the street. I just got a new car and I didnt want it broken into or stolen,” said the neighbor.

Others said there has been an uptick in crime in the area and they are concerned.

“Very surprised that it happened just two doors down from me,” said Brett Reich, another neighbor.

Reich said he is shocked by what happened and said neighbors are installing cameras around their homes for protection and wondering if carrying a weapon may be the next step.

“You start thinking about what decisions lead up to such an outcome, but you also have to feel bad for the person who had to make that decision to act. For the neighbors around us who have to figure out how to protect ourselves,” Reich said.

Tulsa Police took the homeowner who shot the man in for questioning, but released him pending further investigation.
