TULSA - Tulsa police arrested a suspect in a fatal shooting in north Tulsa Friday night.
Emergency personnel were called to the scene, near East Pine and North Peoria Avenue, around 8:00 p.m.
EMSA found the body of a 48-year-old man upon arrival. He was found with 3-5 gunshot wounds, according to police.
Witnesses told police that 32-year-old Erica Lashon Harrison had asked the man to leave her residence, but when he refused Harrison went inside and got a gun.
She then walked up and shot the victim and shot him three times, witnesses said. They told police when the man didn't fall down, Harrison went back inside to reload.
She was arrested with first-degree murder charges.
Investigators say Harrison and the victim knew each other and a motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
The victim's name has not been released.
It's the city's 18th homicide of the year.
