I worked with the young lady from the end of 2011 through most of this year. She was awesome to work with, and was a sparkplug for our whole team with her never ending giggling and upbeat manner. She was, as others had mentioned, very intelligent, but so positive and outgoing as well. I will miss her dearly, as will ANYONE who has had the pleasure of hearing that laugh. I can't say enough about how awesome this kid was to be around. I can hear her voice laughing and joking with our coworkers even as I write this. My heart goes out to her family for the loss, and although I feel sorry for all those who know her, I feel just as sad for all those who will never get to know that laugh.

It's probably best to be careful of the company you keep. They love living with a stick of dynamite :-) till it blows up in their face. Don't need no 4.0 GPA to understand that this was a gang related crime. the gang heard it and now the official word is all the gang is deaf to gunshot noise.

I've been going to school with this girl for a few years now. She was brilliant. She was the only other high school student besides myself to get a 4.0 GPA in our TTC class of 2011. She was also trying to make it in this world by going to college at TCC. It's always a shame to see your friends end up on the obituary list... Messed up world we live in. Time to find a JW to study the bible with to make sense of all this...

Praying for both families of such a terrible tragedy. Mothers and fathers should not have to bury their children, it should be their children burying them. May God bring you comfort and strength.

So it was drug and gang related? Well if the stereotype fits...

Too bad something couldn't have been done to prevent this tragedy,but lifestyles hinder that,price we pay for taking the wrong road,gangs are a big problem in Tulsa... we have the highest per capita gang population in the nation,I'm kinda tired of it actually,not just the tragedy of lost life but the economic cost,saw this coming twenty years ago when the downer hate rap culture started

Its unfortunate the family's have to deal with such a tragedy, but to also have their childrens name being slandered before their bodies get cold. Why can't we view a story and say,"Lord Bless their families", instead of coming to conclusions. What if it were you?

actually, the comment wasn't directed to any specific biological group so there is nothing racist about the comment. It was more like an educated guess, seeing how Tulsa's gang a drug crimes are mostly located up north and also down near south peoria. So let's not get over defensive and make False accusations to others. Besides, it doesn't matter what the cause of it was, it's still a sad and unfortunate situation.

shut the f... up and let the poor couple rest in peace!!!! you have no clue of the situation and need to keep your racist comments to yourself. people like you are a major reason why our community is in such unrest.... anything out north or involving a shooting has to be gang or drug related..... pure stereotypical racist bullshit!!!!!

let me guess gang and drug related.
