TULSA, Okla. — Police identified the man who died early Thursday morning after a shooting happened in north Tulsa.
Tulsa police got a call around 2:40 a.m. of a person being shot. When they arrived to scene near Easton Place and 73rd East Avenue, they found a bike in the road with a shell casing next to it.
Officers say the victim, now known as 30-year-old Jose Guzman, was in critical condition and taken to the hospital for his injuries. Homicide detectives said he died later Thursday morning.
A witness told police after the shooting they saw someone running north.
TPD Captain Jerrod Hart says as police were on the scene investigating, a father came looking for his son.
The father told police someone shot a gun into the dirt on the side of the road and those in the area ran off. Hart tells 2 News that this father was worried his son was shot as he hadn't made it home, but his son's friend did.
Hart says during this time, the father received a phone call from his son saying he was home safe. Officers then went to talk to the son and friend and found a gun between the scene and where they located the two.
One of the suspects, a 14-year-old, was arrested for first-degree murder. The other suspect, Asher Short, was arrested for first-degree murder and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
