TULSA, Okla. — Kory Tuell and Lexus Nicole Fenix are charged in connection to the death of 26-year-old Mitchell Jefferson.
Jefferson died on March 16 after being shot and run over by a car near North Lewis and East Pine.
The arrest affidavit alleges Tuell shot Jefferson, and when he fell out of the vehicle, Fenix ran him over with the car.
EMSA took Jefferson to Ascension St. John, where he was pronounced dead later that evening.
Tulsa police tracked down multiple witnesses during the investigation and said Tuell and Jefferson were together at the time of Jefferson's death.
One witness stated Tuell had a gun with him and Tuell was "going to give Mitchell a ride."
The witness said Tuell called them back and said "I just blew his head off."
Another witness told the police Fenix said Tuell killed Jefferson and she ran him over when Jefferson fell out of the vehicle.
Fenix told the witness she dropped Tuell off somewhere and burned the vehicle.
Tulsa police received video from the area of the scene, where a blue Honda Civic matching the description of the vehicle used in the murder is seen.
The hearing is set for March 26.
