TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police arrested a man they say shot and killed Braylee Owens on March 8th.

TPD received a call around 2:15 a.m. from a man who said his girlfriend had been shot at the Cobblestone Apartments near 51st and Memorial.

When police arrived they found a woman shot multiple times on a bed inside an upstairs apartment. Emergency officials took her to the hospital. The gunshot struck her in the head and neck. She died at the hospital.

Police told 2 News they found shell casings outside the apartment, so it appears the shooter shot from outside into the second-floor apartment. Police arrested Sytney Sinan on March 22. He faces charges of first degree murder and shooting a firearm from a vehicle.

2 News spoke to Owens' family earlier this month, they told us she was always happy and positive.
