36-year-old Justin Mattingly killed after shooting outside QuikTrip gas station in Tulsa
Tulsa, OK – September 21, 2025 – The Tulsa Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting that occurred late Sunday night in the parking lot of a QuikTrip gas station, located at 220 N. Gilcrease Museum Road.
At approximately 11:20 p.m., officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire at the location.
Upon arrival, they discovered 36-year-old Justin Mattingly suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Despite lifesaving efforts, Mattingly succumbed to his injuries within minutes.
According to investigators, the shooting stemmed from an altercation between Mattingly and another man.
Surveillance video reviewed by detectives showed the dispute beginning inside the convenience store, where the suspect was seen assaulting Mattingly, who in turn made verbal threats.
The confrontation later spilled into the parking lot. A short time after the initial incident, Mattingly and a friend—both riding motorcycles—pulled up alongside the suspect’s vehicle at a gas pump.
Detectives say Mattingly kicked the suspect’s car door before beginning to ride away.
At that moment, the suspect, still seated in his vehicle, fired a single shot, striking Mattingly in the head.
The alleged shooter was detained and questioned by police but has since been released.
Authorities emphasized that no arrest has been made at this stage of the investigation.
Due to the complexity of the case, detectives are compiling all evidence and witness statements for submission to the Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office, which will ultimately determine whether criminal charges are filed.
The investigation remains active.

Noemi Hernandez, Mother of Four Murdered By Her Husband Hector Luvianos Two Days Before Christmas
BATAVIA, Ill. — A devastating domestic homicide has left a family and community in mourning just days before Christmas.
Noemi Hernandez, a devoted mother of four, was fatally attacked in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Dec. 23, in what prosecutors allege was a violent act committed by her husband.
The incident occurred at an apartment building in the 100 block of Church Street in Batavia.
According to court records and police reports, at approximately 4:37 a.m., Batavia police were dispatched after a man contacted emergency dispatchers and stated that he had killed his wife.
Responding officers located the man outside the apartment building and took him into custody without incident.
When officers entered the apartment, they found Hernandez suffering from severe, life-threatening injuries.
First responders immediately attempted life-saving measures; however, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities identified the suspect as Hector B. Luvianos, 37, who was transported to the Batavia Police Department for questioning.
With assistance from the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force, investigators determined the incident was domestic-related and involved only the two individuals. Police emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
On Dec. 24, 2025, Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie L. Mosser and Batavia Police Chief Eric Blowers announced that Luvianos has been formally charged with first-degree murder, a Class M felony under Illinois law.
He appeared in court the same day for a pretrial detention hearing, after which a judge ordered him held in the Kane County Jail while the case proceeds.
The Kane County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene, and an autopsy is scheduled to determine the official cause and manner of Hernandez’s death.
In the wake of the tragedy, Hernandez’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover funeral and related expenses.
In the fundraiser, the family described Noemi as “the heart of her family,” noting that she worked tirelessly, loved deeply, and always placed her children first. Her sudden death, they wrote, has left the family emotionally devastated and financially unprepared.
As an immigrant family with limited resources and no life insurance, they now face the burden of funeral and cremation costs, legal fees, and other unexpected expenses, all while supporting four children grieving the loss of their mother.
The family is asking for community support to allow them to lay Noemi to rest with dignity and focus on healing rather than financial hardship.
The investigation remains ongoing.
