TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police revealed more details that led to an arrest of a man believed to be involved in a homicide in downtown Tulsa.
Officers say a shooting happened at a north Tulsa apartment complex early Friday morning. They found a man, laying on the ground, with a gunshot wound when they arrived on the scene. TPD says the victim first called 911 himself saying his stepson was fighting with him and refusing to leave. About 15 minutes later, another 911 call was made but this time from a neighbor saying someone was shot.
The stepson, identified as Camreion Williams, was no longer on the scene once police arrived. The victim later died at the hospital due to his injuries.
TPD searched for Williams and that led them to the Cox Business Center where Williams works as a security guard. When officers arrived to take Williams in for questioning, he ran inside the building. Authorities then worked to surround and safely evacuate the building.
Tulsa police and Tulsa County Sheriff's Office worked together on the scene and arrested Williams within 30 minutes of arriving.
TPD Captain Richard Meulenberg says officers were doing a floor-by-floor search when Williams got on the security radio system which led them to find Williams inside a maintenance room. Meulenberg says because Williams worked there, police were at a "small" disadvantage.
"We were concerned about does he have a weapon stashed here, does he have a locker, is he armed? There’s a lot of questions we don’t know and we have to develop that right away so officers got here and started working with security with facilities maintenance to then look at where he went. We knew where he didn’t go. We had officers at all the exits and then once we lock it down we do a meticulous search but he had the upper hand," says Meulenberg.
It's unknown whether Williams was showing up for work at the Cox Business Center or came to the building for another reason.
