ID awaits possible Tulsa Massacre case

A second body of a possible victim of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre has been found to have a gunshot wound, according to the city.

In an effort to eventually confirm the remains are those of massacre victims, investigators are seeking signs of trauma, such as gunshot wounds, based on accounts at the time.

A portion of the bullet was removed the the head of the remains, according to a statement late Friday from city spokesperson Carson Colvin. The person’s race and whether the remains are those of a massacre victim are not yet known.

The remains were in a plain casket and are believed to be that of an adult male, matching information in reports from 1921.
