Oklahoma authorities have been working around the clock attempting to find the suspects who went on a shooting spree targeting a predominately black neighborhood in Tulsa this weekend, killing two people and wounding 3 others.

After endless searching, two white male suspects have been taken into custody as of early this morning.

The police identified the arrested men as Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32. They were taken into custody from a home in Tulsa.

At the time of their arrest, police were not sure of what the two men’s’ relationship was to one another, whether they were friends or extended family.

The pair will be charged with three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill, the department said. 

As reported by CNN:

The first shooting occurred at 1:03 a.m. Friday. That victim, 49-year-old Dannaer Fields, died at a hospital.

Three minutes later, two other people were shot, authorities said. One of them “pretty close to the (gunman’s) vehicle and the other … a little further away,” said Brooks, the police captain. Those two were initially in critical condition but, by Saturday evening, were expected to survive, he said.

Then, just before 2 a.m., another person was shot and killed.

The body of a third person was found around 8 a.m. next to a funeral home in a more commercial district, though Brooks said police believe he was shot much earlier.

“For a white male to come that deep into that area and to start indiscriminately shooting, that lends itself for many to believe that it probably was a hate crime,” Brooks told CNN.

Brooks said one survivor recalled how “the suspect drives up to him, asks … for directions and shoots him for no reason.” 

Detectives are still interrogating the two men and do not yet know their motive for the shootings which appear to be racially charged.
