Tulsa Police are closing in on a murder suspect. Police spent several hours early Wednesday morning searching for 20-year-old Patrick Pflueger. He is wanted for the murder of a homeless man last month near 7th and Lewis. A Tulsa Police officer working another case near 5th and Lewis spotted Pflueger overnight. Tulsa Police say Pflueger ran off, so police officers searched for him with the police helicopter and with police officers on foot in the neighborhood. Police say Pflueger got away.

Pflueger is the third suspect wanted in connection with the murder of John Seeley. The other two suspects, Dusty McGee and Leslie McGee were arrested last week.

Tulsa Police detectives say three suspects beat Seeley to death because he threatened to call police after the three allegedly stole copper from an abandoned apartment building.
