Tulsa homicide detectives are still trying to solve a murder from the day after Christmas.

It happened at a downtown Tulsa bar and police think you may be able to help.

News on six crime reporter Lori Fullbright has this week's To Catch A Crook.

The shooting happened in the parking lot of Curly's Bar in downtown around three in the morning.

Tulsa Police Officer Scott Walton says, "They arrived to find a black male, Rashad Barnes laying in the parking lot. He'd been shot."

Barnes lived for nearly three weeks before dying on January 14.

Police say a fight started inside the club then spilled outside.

"The shooter fired several shots into the air and then several shots in the area of the victim," Walton said.

The shooter took off in an older Lincoln Mark four with custom wheels it had a red Christmas bow attached to the grill.

Police say a number of people saw the shooting and now they need to come forward with information.
