The latest search for the remains of 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre victims has concluded with the discovery of three more sets containing gunshot wounds. State archaeologist confirmed that these three sets are among the 11 exhumed during the recent excavation at Oaklawn Cemetery. Two of the gunshot victims showed evidence of munitions from two different weapons, while the third individual displayed evidence of burning.
Forensic anthropologists on site revealed that one victim suffered both bullet and shotgun wounds, while the second victim was shot with two different caliber bullets. Searchers focused on locating simple wooden caskets, as historical records described them as the type used for burying massacre victims.
