Tulsa Police Detectives solved a cold case Tuesday involving a man who'd been killed in 2006.
On 7/17/2006, Ervin Tolon was found dead from a gunshot wound inside his home near N. St. Louis Ave. and Virgin. Officers found drugs at the scene, and the initial investigation pointed to drugs being a motivation for the murder.
Detectives continued to investigate the case, but an arrest was never made.
In November and December of 2024, Detectives spoke with several witnesses and received new information identifying Bryant Gamble as a suspect.
On 12/10/2024, Bryant Gamble was arrested for 1st Degree Murder and booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
Bryant Gamble was released from prison in February of this year after serving more than 16 years for a 2007 robbery conviction.
