OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On October 23, 2021, Tulsa Police Department officers responded to a 911 call from Leon Perry, who was incoherent during the call and allowed a child to speak, indicating they needed help. Upon arrival at the Seminole Hills apartment complex, officers encountered a 7-year-old boy with bound wrists and neck, who informed them of an argument and assault on his mother. Officers then heard a gunshot from the apartment. As they entered, Perry pushed the lifeless, bound body of Tyanna Blades down the stairs. During the ensuing confrontation, officers shot and killed Perry and rescued a 4-year-old girl who was also bound.
