Tulsa Nightmare: The Unbelievable Crime Spree of Kyle Kindley”
On Tuesday night, December 9th, 2025, the quiet streets of South Tulsa were shattered by the chaotic actions of Kyle Kindley, 22. What started as a violent altercation with his cousin spiraled into an unpredictable and violent crime spree that terrorized multiple innocent victims. From a shooting to a carjacking, a high-speed crash, and finally a jaw-dropping “superman” leap into a moving vehicle’s windshield, this spree is nothing short of a nightmare. In the midst of it all, one question lingers: what drove Kyle Kindley to such extremes?
It all began just before 11:00 p.m. when Tulsa police received several 9-1-1 calls reporting gunshots near the 71st and Sheridan area. Upon arriving, authorities discovered a man who had been shot multiple times in the chest. Despite life-saving measures by paramedics, the victim, who was later identified as Kindley’s cousin, was rushed to a nearby trauma center, where he remains in critical condition. As the police began their investigation, a second crime unfolded—Kindley had carjacked an Uber Eats driver, violently assaulting her and fleeing the scene in her vehicle.

Just minutes after the shooting and carjacking, chaos continued along East 71st Street. Police responded to a report of an abandoned car near 71st and Memorial, where they found an injured individual who had been struck by a passing vehicle. The man had been Kyle Kindley, still reeling from the consequences of his reckless actions. Earlier, he had crashed the stolen car after running into a center median, disabling the vehicle. In a desperate attempt to flee, he abandoned the car, leaving it still rolling into oncoming traffic.
What followed next could be described as a scene from a bizarre action film. Kindley, in a last-ditch attempt to evade police, leaped from a sidewalk and launched himself into the windshield of a moving vehicle. The impact was so severe that he essentially “supermanned” into the car with his face, knocking him unconscious in the process. The driver of the car, understandably shaken, immediately stopped, and Tulsa police officers soon arrived on the scene. Kindley was taken into custody after he attempted to fight paramedics who were tending to his facial wounds. Once strapped to a gurney, he was transported to a nearby hospital and later transferred to the Tulsa County Jail.

As police pieced together the events of the night, they learned that the series of crimes were connected. Kyle Kindley, whose motive remains unclear, was arrested and charged with shooting with intent to kill, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon. Thankfully, no innocent bystanders were killed in this senseless rampage, but the impact of the night’s events left everyone involved shaken. The driver who struck Kindley with their car and the Uber Eats driver both survived their encounters, though deeply disturbed by the violent chain of events.
The true cause of this wild crime spree remains under investigation, with speculation that drugs and alcohol may have been involved. Kindley’s actions have left the Tulsa community shaken, but the quick response from local authorities and emergency personnel was commendable. While justice is now being pursued, the unanswered questions about what led to this violent episode remain.
