Detectives, Investigators Busy In Tulsa After Weekend With Multiple Shootings

Officers say a family gathering in a home near Harvard and Apache turned into a shootout between 40-year-old Adam Balance and 16-year-old Tyrell Junior.

Police say a fight broke out and the two started shooting at each other.

Investigators say both died and three other people are still in the hospital. Detectives are still interviewing witnesses and piecing together what happened.

Police are also investigating a different shooting near 31st and Mingo.

Officers say 26-year-old Mikaleb Fitzgerald-White was offered $100 to drive two men to the nearby Arvest Bank, but those men shot and killed him.

Investigators say the two men are still on the run, and a passenger in the car told the driver not to give the guys a ride.

Police say the homicide detectives are busy working all of these scenes.

"Now you got four within a matter of hours, they're going to start getting their unit spread thin a little bit," Officer Bean said.

Tulsa County deputies arrested 38-year-old Thomas Knox after they say he shot and killed Paul Schultz outside of the Dollar General near Pine and Yale.
