TULSA – The man wanted for his connection to a drive-by shooting in August that left one dead has reportedly been arrested.
Deonta Mullins, 20, was wanted for first degree murder in the shooting death of Marquis Mullins, who is listed as his brother by Tulsa police.
Mullins was arrested on complaint of first degree murder, operating a vehicle without a required drivers’ license, two counts of use of vehicle in discharge of weapon into dwelling or building, no drivers’ license and a juvenile curfew violation.
The incident, which occurred on August 23, started when Marquis Mullins was a passenger in a vehicle that was reportedly occupied by Zaire Ross, Chrishun Smith and Deonta Mullins, reports Tulsa police.
