Tulsa police are looking for a suspect in the city's latest homicide after two separate shootings, including one which has left a man dead. At about one o'clock Friday morning, officers were called to the 41-hundred block of North Frankfort Avenue to investigate a truck crashing into a house. Within seconds of that call, two calls came in of shots fired in the same area.

When officers arrived to investigate the shots fired call, they found evidence of someone having been shot, but no victim. They later found the victim had gone to OSU Medical Center with non-life threatening gunshot wounds to the arm and leg.

NewsChannel 8 myTAKE - What's Your Opinion? Other officers responded to the truck crashing into the house and discovered a man with a gunshot wound to the head. Brian Elliot Minter was rushed to St. John Medical Center in critical condition, but later died from his wounds.

A passenger in Minter's truck was injured by flying glass resulting from the shooting and was interviewed by detectives and released.

Witnesses say several shots were fired at Minter's truck as he was northbound on Frankfort. The suspect vehicle then passed Minter as it headed southbound toward a neighborhood, where more shots were fired into a group of people standing in a yard. That victim was the one who showed up at OSU Medical Center.

The suspect vehicle was later located in a parking lot near Pine Street and North Florence. It was a 1999 Lincoln Town Car, medium blue in color with a medium blue rag top.

Anyone with information about the crime or suspects is urged to call Crimestoppers at 596-COPS. This is Tulsa's sixth homicide just this month.

  I knew Brian and he was a wonderful person. I feel that this was a senseless murder. The person/people that done this needs to be found and held accountable for their actions. Brian was someone's son, father, brother, cousin and friend to many, many people and he will be greatly missed.
