TULSA - Two men were shot inside a car at a Quiktrip near 71st Street and Riverside Drive around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

Authorities say the Kristjan Thorsson, 18, and John White, 37, were arguing with a man who was not in the car when the suspect drew a handgun and began shooting. The driver left the Quiktrip and drove into the parking lot of a nearby church.

Both victims were taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition.

Thorsson later died from his injuries.

Police say the suspect is a black man, about 140 to 150 pounds and between the ages of 18 to 24 years old.  He was wearing a red ball cap, red shirt and blue jeans.
