A Tulsa triple murder suspect is in jail in Osage County.

Police believe Thomas Brown was the target and his mother and her boyfriend were killed because they happened to be there at the time.

Records show Brown has several arrests for drugs. He was convicted most recently in 2015, sentenced to four years in prison and released last June.

Police also believe Brown knew the suspects because it didn’t look like they forced their way inside.

It’s unknown if Porter and Brown knew each other.
