Tulsa police arrested two people and are searching for three others in the fatal shooting of a man at an east Tulsa motel.
Warren Crittenden, 44, and Pamela Taylor, 27, were arrested by Tulsa police on first-degree murder complaints late Tuesday.
A 32-year-old man old was found dead about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday inside the Super 8 Motel near 31st Street and Memorial Drive, homicide Sgt. Dave Walker said.
He answered a knock on the door, and four men wearing hoodies, including Crittenden, rushed into the room demanding money and shot him during a struggle, Walker said.
The four men fled on foot from the motel, located at 3211 S. 79th East Ave.
Taylor, who is listed in jail records as being a transient, was when the shooting occurred, police said. She was not harmed.
Video surveillance images show the suspects arrived at the motel in two separate vehicles, which were later recovered.
Investigators determined that the man was killed after meeting Taylor at a casino and taking her back to the motel before arguing.
Detectives said Taylor then called Crittenden and three other men to confront the victim.
Police are working to identify the other assailants involved in the shooting.
Last Wednesday, Gerald Hail, 70, of Inola, was found dead at the motel.
He had been reported missing that morning by family members who had not seen him for more than a day.
Police found Hail slumped against the door inside his motel room after he was located via his cellphone signal.
Police later arrested 26-year-old Matthew Prince Hannah, who was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder.
Anyone having information about either homicide is asked to contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 918-596-COPS (2677), online at bit.ly/crimestopperstips or via text message at CRIMES (274637). Text tips should begin with ?Tip918.
