Trevor Clifton Wilkerson

How they died

Suicide

Oklahoma Highway Trooper George McCreary stopped a car in east Tulsa for a traffic violation. Wilkerson, a back-seat passenger in the car, got out of the car and allegedly fired one shot at the trooper, missing him. Wilkerson then ran into a neighborhood. Police set up a perimeter around the Bristol Park Apartments. The apartment did not have a phone, so police used a loudspeaker to try to contact Wilkerson. Several announcements were made, and then one shot was heard. Two men came out of the apartment and told the officers that Trevor had shot and killed himself.
