Jake England's Facebook page includes a photo of his father on a collection jar, with the caption: "In loving memory: Carl England, father shot and killed trying to protect his children and grandchildren."

England's fiance, Sheran Hart Wilde of Tulsa, died on January 10, 2012, according to Johnson Funeral Service. She was also the mother of his child, Jacob Carl England II.

Police arrested England and Watts after a Crime Stoppers tip. The tipster also led authorities to the white pickup that a witness said was used in the crime. It was registered to Carl or Jacob England, according to arrest reports.

England's page adds support to the theory that the victims were targeted because of their race. It contains racial slurs, and at 3:40 p.m. Thursday, the following post:

"Today is two years that my dad has been gone shot by a [expletive deleted]. it's hard not to go off. between that and sheran I'm gone in the head."

On Friday at 10:15 p.m. the following post appears:

"I do believer it just mite be the time to call it quits I I hate to say it like that but I'm done if something does happen tonite be ready for another funeral later."
