A homeowner shot and killed a man Sunday night in east Tulsa, and police are still investigating exactly what led to the shooting.

Police Sgt. Joe Gamboa said the resident told officers that he heard someone banging on his front door in the 8500 block of East 33rd Place about 9:30 p.m. Sunday. When he looked to see who it was, he told police that he saw a man with a gun standing outside.

The resident, who hadn’t been identified or arrested as of Monday afternoon, reportedly shot 19-year-old Troy Giles once in the chest. Police and firefighters reportedly did chest compressions on Giles in a neighbor’s front yard before he was taken by ambulance to a hospital. He was pronounced dead about 10:20 p.m.

The resident was taken to police headquarters for questioning, but police said Monday that he was not arrested.

Officers recovered a gun from Giles, but Sgt. Brandon Watkins said detectives are still working out what led to the shooting. Detectives reportedly are looking for another unidentified person, and Watkins said it’s undetermined how that person was involved.
