Tulsa Man Arrested In Murder Cold Case From 2007

Tulsa Police Department’s fugitive squad arrested a man charged with a 2007 murder.

The warrant for Christopher Price wasn't issued until 15 years later, in 2022.

Police said the case went cold until 2021 when a witness came forward with new, detailed information.

The affidavit said the shooting happened between two rival gangs; Bloods and Hoover Crips. Christopher Price also goes by “Quarter Top,” police said.

The affidavit said back in 2007, Price and a couple of his buddies got into an argument with the victim, Terrance Buckner, and a couple of Terrance's friends at a Tulsa bar.

It said the argument continued at a gas station nearby, then people in two different vehicles fired shots at Buckner's truck as he was getting onto Highway 169.

A few days after the murder, police stopped Price in a stolen car and recovered a .40-caliber handgun.

The murder went unsolved until 2021 when a new witness came forward with names and details.

That led to the .40-caliber gun being tested in March of 2022 and police said it was a match for the shell casings from the crime scene.

That’s what led to an arrest warrant for Price. Police were looking for him for the past year.

Price is in jail, charged with murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill and shooting from a vehicle.

Records show, four years after the murder, Price was convicted in Tulsa County for a gun and drug case and was sentenced to three years in prison.
