Arrest Made In Sunday Double Homicide

By Jeffrey Smith, News On 6

TULSA, OK -- Police say a 19-year-old shot his mother and cousin in the face. It happened early Sunday morning in the 900 block of North Quincy Avenue.

Police say Brandon Johnson is responsible for the murders. He lived next door to his mom and 19-year-old female cousin.

The News On 6 spoke to several neighbors. They say they heard Brandon tell his mom he was going to kill her hours before the shooting.

It all came to a head Saturday night.

Brandon Johnson walked a few hundred feet, into the next-door home. Police say he shot his mom, Tracy, and his 19-year-old cousin several times in the face.

Rose Mustin was Tracy's close friend.

"She was tired, she was scared, she was worn down. She said people shouldn't have to live like this," said Mustin.

Rose says she's known Tracy for eight months and during that time, Brandon would often beat up his mom. Other neighbors say they saw the same thing.

"He was always hittin' on her. Beatin' on her. He busted her lip open and everything," said Buddy Mcglothin.

Earlier Saturday afternoon, Brandon smashed up in his mom's car with a baseball bat. Buddy Mcglothin says after he smashed all the windows, he told his mom he'd be coming back to kill her.

"She was leaning up against the truck, and he pushed her real hard, and said, ‘bitch, I'll shoot you.'" said Mcglothin.

He says Brandon didn't like his mom's new boyfriend and that's why he'd been beating her up.

"He'd kick the door open. He'd run in there and push her down and threaten to kill her. And hit her and beat her, over just bull crap," said Mcglothin.

The glass shards still glisten in the front yard.

Insanity that a teenage girl and a mother are dead and police say her son, her neighbor, is behind it all.

Brandon Johnson was booked on two counts of first degree murder.

Tracy Johnson, his mom, also had a seven-year-old daughter. She was not home at the time of the shooting.

We're told that daughter is staying with extended family.
