Suspect In Creek County Homicide Identified

A man is in custody following a homicide in Creek County on Monday. 

Deputies say they got a call in the afternoon about a possible homicide after a body was found in a house near 111th and 161st West Avenue, just west of Sapulpa. Chief Deputy Fred Clark says they quickly figured out Aaron Elkins was the suspect and were able to take him into custody. Clark says Elkins was the only one involved and he did know the victim. 

At this time, the name of the victim is not being released. Clark says right now they are working to figure out a motive.

"We're still doing interviews, still trying to figure out if there's some sort of cause or something that started this, we're not sure at this point, nobody else was at the residence so we're still doing interviews to try and figure that out," Chief Deputy Fred Clark said. 

Elkins has been booked into the Creek County Jail.
