Welcome!!

The father of a Tulsa teen killed in a drive -by shooting says senseless violence must stop. Police were called to a drive-by shooting last night in the 5600 block of North Frankfort. When officers arrived they found 18-year-old Joseph Adetula lying in the street with several gunshot wounds. Police say he later died at an area hospital. Last night's shooting makes 9 homicides in a past two weeks.

Dayo Adetula explains what happened. “I was inside a girl came in said Joseph got shot, Joseph got shot. I ran to where he was lying in the floor like a dog... crying." It was a sight Dayo Adetula says he could have never imagined. "I didn't know what to do. I touched him, I said who shot you. He couldn't say nothing- he was just lying there you know. I saw him bleeding.

" Police say the summer months bring out every one-- the good and the bad. Officer Scott Walton says, “there's more intermingling of people more opportunity for crime to occur." That's Dayo's biggest fear, that another parent will feel what he's feeling. "My son is gone. Nobody deserves this, it's too much, it's just too much." The family did not have insurance for Joseph. Family members have started a trust fund at Freedom Bank of Oklahoma. (82-805-1) P.O.BOX 6538 Tulsa Oklahoma 74156-0538 . (918)425-4381 Police don't have a lot of suspect information at this time.
