"Two shot due to road rage Tuesday afternoon"
Tulsa Police Department announced the arrest of a suspect in Yesterday's road rage shooting near I-244 and Sheridan.
Tulsa Police along with Tulsa Fire Department Firefighters with Engine 15 and Engine 17, and EMSA responded to a Shooting in the Arby's parking lot near I-244 and Sheridan.
When Officers arrived, they discovered a man down in the parking lot near his vehicle, and a second victim, a woman who was inside the vehicle. Officers provided life-saving measures until Firefighters and Emsa took over. Both were transported to Tulsa Hospitals. Unfortunately, the man that had been shot multiple times, succumbed to injuries at the hospital.
During the investigation, what we know-
The suspect, 20yr old Dezmin Day had followed the victims into the parking lot, where he recklessly and cowardly shot both victims.
Thanks to witnesses, they were able to give Police a description of the suspect and the suv he was driving. Officers on patrol near Downtown spotted a vehicle matching the description given and performed a traffic stop. The driver was detained and taken to Detective Division. The suspect admitted to Detectives that the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident, when when he followed the victims into the parking lot, he had blocked the victims vehicle in, and when the male victim stepped out, although unarmed, the suspect shot him multiple times, then shot into the vehicle as well due to it being occupied.
Officers doing an inventory of the vehicle the suspect was driving, a firearm with extended magazine was discovered. The cereal # (Serial) had been filed off, so it is unknown if the firearm is stolen, so the investigation into that is ongoing.
The suspect, 20yr old Dezmin Day has been booked into Tulsa County Jail for-
-A&B W/DEADLY WEAPON
-FELONY MURDER 2ND DEGREE
Additional charges may also be filed as the investigation continues.
We delayed this story as so families of the victims could have their privacy just as being notified through the proper channels. (Law Enforcement)...
Our thoughts and prayers for all of those involved.
