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.
