“I can just tell you based on evidence collected—circumstantial and physical—it points to the fact that they had some other relationship,” said Captain Richard Meulenberg, Tulsa Police Department’s Public Information Officer. “They knew each other before; this was not... road rage.”
On Aug. 19, officers arrested 44-year-old Mark Burleson in Ponca City, who is suspected to be the shooter.
Police arrested Jacqueline Hull on Aug. 18 for allegedly driving the car for the shooter.
Burleson is a tribal member so his case will be turned over to the FBI.
