An ongoing dispute apparently led to a fatal shooting Saturday evening.

Officers were called about 6 p.m. to a residence in the 1000 block of North Troost Avenue where they found a 34-year-old man who had been shot one time, Tulsa Police Department Cpl. Gene Watkins said. The man later died at a local hospital.

An ongoing dispute apparently led to a confrontation and the shooting at the residence, where a party was being held, Watkins said.

Homicide detectives were interviewing witnesses late Saturday and attempting to identify the shooter, Watkins said.

The victim's name was not being released until his family could be notified. By World Staff

	Report Comment Bullhead, Tenkiller (11/21/2009 9:07:04 PM) It's never gonna end, is it.. Sad
	Report Comment cherry74129, Tulsa (11/21/2009 10:15:55 PM) Seems to get worse around the holidays.
	Report Comment Thunder196, Tulsa (11/21/2009 10:20:04 PM) I can't imagine getting so mad. To settle a dispute by shooting someone. But then I am the type when I think buttons are being pushed, to walk away.
	Report Comment Tell Sackett, (11/21/2009 10:25:28 PM) 5'7" 145 wearing dark hoodie. Still nobody saw nuthin'!
	Report Comment Whoknew?, Tulsa (11/21/2009 10:45:45 PM) I'm sure TPD knows who this person is and he will be picked up. Just a matter of time.
	Report Comment PAN, (11/22/2009 1:34:17 AM) I THINK this is number 62? That is unless I missed one in the last day or two. I came from a town in a different state that is much larger than Tulsa and that town is having fits because they have had SIX murders there! What is it with Tulsa? Gangs? Illegals? Race? Drugs? Religion? (I seriously doubt THAT.) Or are there just a bunch of criminal wannabe's? I'm not trying to be ornery here; I'm just trying to figure out what it is about Tulsa. There isn't all that much in Tulsa to fight about as far as I could tell in the 12 years I lived there. I am GLAD I moved to a lot smaller area 4 years ago. I sure don't intend to ever move back to Tulsa, either.
	Report Comment Elusive, Owasso (11/22/2009 1:46:43 AM) Using a gun is no way to solve a dispute.

	Report Comment Rainy Daze, Tulsa (11/22/2009 7:58:01 AM) to those who think it's appropiate to make jokes when someone is killed, will you kill someone as a joke. How many "funnies" could you come up with reguarding the deaths of your family and friends?
	Report Comment skippy1, Tulsa (11/22/2009 9:07:36 AM) We have all become so 'de-sensatized' to these murders that it has become a joke. These young punks place no value on human life, not even their own.
	Report Comment my view, Sand Springs (11/22/2009 9:13:14 AM) Nim, Your T-Town comment would almost be funny if wasn't so true.
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/22/2009 9:18:36 AM) A sign of the times. Shootouts every night all over town.
	Report Comment Bonasera the Undertaker, Brooklyn (11/22/2009 9:23:09 AM) Two stabbings and a fatal shooting - in one day. Are the vermin working up to three a day now?
	Report Comment Casual Reader, Inola (11/22/2009 10:38:27 AM) Degenerate trash.
	Report Comment ranay22, Ponca City (11/22/2009 10:44:13 AM) I really don't see anyone making jokes on here. Some are expressing disgust or asking questions. That is basically what the comments are. unless I missed a joke and TW took it off.
	Report Comment Nim, Jenks (11/22/2009 11:06:31 AM) I really don't see anyone making jokes on here either. However, I have an "ignore" list a mile long so I may not be able to read them.
	Report Comment Few Clothes, America (11/22/2009 11:07:11 AM) Good luck getting help from the witnesses.
