Remains of gunshot victim and 6 other bodies found in search for 1921 Tulsa race massacre victims

The discovery of human remains that could possibly be victims of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre in Oklahoma shows that the search for mass graves should continue, researchers said.

A report submitted to Tulsa's committee overseeing the search said one body, believed to be a Black male in his mid-to-late 20s, is a possible massacre victim and had three gunshot wounds with two bullets recovered from the remains, including one from the head.

Forensic anthropologist Phoebe Stubblefield said Wednesday that DNA could provide circumstantial evidence linking the remains to the massacre. But she said that it likely can never be confirmed with certainty that any remains were massacre victims.
