Tulsa Police responded to a call of a large fight at the bar, when they arrived, police officers found 17-year-old Rolando Rocha shot in the back.

Tulsa Police say there has been an on-going problem at business with juveniles at the bar. “Just last week one of my officers pulled two 17-year-olds out of this bar. We've had numerous occasions in the past to come to this bar and remove juveniles and cite them for other offenses,†said Tulsa Police Captain Matt Kirkland.
Tulsa Police say they are questioning a possible shooting suspect.
Rocha's killing is Tulsa's 43rd homicide of the year.
