A 22-year old Tulsa man is dead and two people are in the Tulsa County jail after gunfire erupts outside of a Boys and Girls club Monday afternoon. 

The shooting happened near 31st Street North and Cincinnati.   

Tulsa Police officers took three people in custody Monday; two of those have been arrested for the murder of 22-year-old Robert Holmes Jr.  

22-year-old Ian Barnett and 21-year-old Allyn Chatman are in the Tulsa County jail.  They're being held on complaints of first degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. 

Tulsa Police stopped the car the three men were in Monday after it matched eyewitness reports. 

Holmes was gunned down outside the Mabee Community Center, where a Boys and Girls Club camp was being held.  Authorities are now trying to figure out if this killing is related to last week's double murder of teens Teontae Ray and Tajuan Davis.  

"We don't know that yet. We'll look at that angle certainly. We aren't saying that for sure yet, but it possibly could be," said Tulsa Police Chief Ron Palmer. 

Tulsa Police say it's amazing no one else was hurt because there were children playing outside of the community center.
