The 39-year-old driver of the SUV was wounded in the neck and taken to a hospital. A passenger, 32, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene, according to Tulsa Police.

"An 8-year-old boy and his mother were asleep in the room and escaped serious injury when the SUV pushed their bed aside as it came into the apartment," Homicide Sergeant Dave Walker said in a news release.
Walker said evidence leads them to believe there were two shooters with two guns. They arrested Warrior at the QuikTrip at 61st and South Lewis.
"We are still attempting to identify the second suspect," Walker said.
He says this is Tulsa’s 51st homicide for 2017.
The homicide victim has not been identified. Anyone with information about the murder is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
