Man Arrested After Fatal Stabbing At Tulsa Park

Police arrested a 42-year-old Tulsa man who they believed stabbed another man to death at Tulsa park Thursday evening.

Officers say at about 5:45 p.m. police were called to Admiral Park at Admiral and Utica. They found a 71-year-old man fatally stabbed after an apparent altercation at the park.  

Police said most witnesses to the crime had either fled the park or were too inebriated to flee. 

Eventually, investigators were able to identify Jesse Lopez as the suspect, which they tracked down and arrested.

Lopez was booked into the Tulsa County jail on a complaint of first-degree murder. Jail records show Jesse Lopez is being held without bond.
