TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police are investigating after a woman was found dead in a south Tulsa QuikTrip parking lot Thursday night.
Officers received a call about shots fired at the QuikTrip at 61st near Highway 169 around 10:40 p.m. When they arrived on the scene with first responders, they found Estrella Mendoza dead in the parking lot.
Multiple witnesses told police about the details of the shooting, including the suspect and the car they drove away in. QuikTrip also provided surveillance footage for the investigation.
TPD later found the suspect and pulled them over near 51st and Yale. They say Mendoza and the suspect do have a connection and the shooting wasn't random.
Police arrested Alexis Flanner, but her Native American status will hand the investigation over to federal authorities.
