Tulsa Police have more questions than answers after a 24-year-old woman was found shot and killed inside her home in West Tulsa over the weekend.

Homicide detectives hope someone will come forward with information about who killed Arianna Doyle.

Detectives say it's too early to say if Doyle was the intended target of this shooting or if she was shot by accident, but they say several shots were fired.

Police say Doyle's mother came home from work early Sunday morning and found Doyle shot to death inside. The two women had talked on the phone just hours earlier about their Thanksgiving Day plans.

"We have a pretty good idea of when it happened; it's just a matter of getting all the other pieces to fit,” said Lieutenant Brandon Watkins with Tulsa Police Homicide.

Watkins says the person fired shots from outside the house and hit Doyle in her bedroom. Watkins says this investigation has had its challenges.

"Obviously for the time of day and the area of town it was in, there's just not a lot of witnesses walking around there, so it has just been one of those where it's more of a marathon and less of a sprint,” said Watkins.

This is the 47th homicide in Tulsa this year, and detectives have made arrests in all of them, except this one.

"It seems like a lot of them start out this way and we've made a lot of headway on this since it happened. Unfortunately, we'd love to have someone in handcuffs right now, but it is coming; we are making pretty significant headway on this,” said Watkins.

Watkins says help from the community is the reason why Tulsa's homicide unit is so successful, and in a case like this, they really need someone with information to step up and share it.

"When someone calls in and they give us some information, then we go, oh that fits the facts that we already know, it gives us a direction to go. Sometimes those are wrong, but more often than not those are right. They give us a direction to look and some starting point,” said Watkins.

If you have any information that could help police call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.

You can leave an anonymous tip and there could be a cash reward.
