The reappearance of a disturbing video featuring a man wielding an axe on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, where an unprovoked attack resulted in the victim being struck in the head with the blade, has left online users perplexed by the excessive violence portrayed.

What is the Israel Trejo guy with axe video as James Patterson Tulsa attack goes viral on Twitter and Reddit
One such video features the tragic incident known as the Tulsa axe murder of 2022. In this incident, James Patterson, a native of Riverhead who had recently relocated to Oklahoma, was struck in the head with an axe while he was casually sitting on a couch, eating in his apartment.
The video captures the assailant, Israel Trejo, holding the axe in the living room, that he had apparently purchased from someone. Shockingly, without any provocation, Israel Trejo suddenly brought the blade down on Patterson’s head, who appeared completely unsuspecting of the unprovoked attack.
Charges
Tragically, the victim succumbed to the injuries sustained during the assault. The suspect fled the scene but was later apprehended and charged with first-degree murder, as confirmed by the Tulsa Police Department.
The video depicting the axe-wielding suspect, Israel Trejo, perpetrating this unprovoked attack on James Patterson has left many social media users both stunned and bewildered.
Video’s Authenticity
Meanwhile, several others questioned the authenticity of the video, speculating whether it might have been fabricated to garner viral attention. To clarify, the video is indeed authentic, and the suspect received a life sentence without the possibility of parole earlier this year.
Tulsa County First Assistant DA Erik Grayless, during the suspect’s sentencing, remarked, “This was one of the most traumatic cases to deal with. The level of brutality, the unprovoked nature of the attack, and the sinister aspects of the entire case are difficult to forget. I am relieved that justice has been served.”
Who was victim James?
The victim, James Patterson, was reportedly 22 years old at the time of the shocking attack. Patterson, a graduate of Riverhead High School in 2018, was known as a young aspiring musician who had recently moved to Tulsa from New York.
