Mitchell is wanted in the September 27, 2013, death of Christian Patrick Dehart, 22. Dehart was shot and killed during an armed robbery in the garage of a south Tulsa home. Homicide Sergeant Dave Walker said at the time that the suspects were after drugs and that there was no indication Dehart was the intended victim.

Two other men were wounded but survived.

Mitchell, 23, had been arrested in the murder in 2015 but was released on bond. The district attorney filed a motion to have the bond increased, but Mitchell had already taken off.
