Mustang fatal shooting suspect arrested after overnight manhunt
A deadly Mustang fatal shooting investigation is underway after police say a domestic dispute turned violent late Wednesday night, leaving one man dead and triggering a metro-area manhunt.
Officers responded to a home near State Highway 152 and South Sara Road around 11 p.m. after reports of a shooting inside the residence.
When officers arrived, they found an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
Despite emergency life-saving efforts, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mustang fatal shooting tied to domestic dispute
Investigators say the Mustang fatal shooting appears to have stemmed from an argument involving family members inside the home.
According to Mustang Police Chief Mike Wallace, the incident is believed to be domestic in nature and involved multiple people who were inside the residence at the time of the shooting.
Police say witness statements helped investigators quickly identify the suspect and the vehicle involved.
The criminal investigation is being led by the Mustang Police Department.
Suspect captured in Del City after fleeing scene
Authorities say the suspect involved in the Mustang fatal shooting fled the area immediately after the shooting.
Law enforcement agencies across the Oklahoma City metro assisted in locating the suspect, who was eventually taken into custody in Del City shortly after midnight.
Police say the arrest happened roughly one hour after the shooting was first reported.
The suspect’s identity has not yet been officially released.
OSBI assisting with crime scene investigation
The Mustang fatal shooting investigation now includes assistance from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
Officials say the OSBI was called in to help Mustang detectives process the crime scene and assist with evidence collection.
Authorities say the shooting appears to be an isolated incident and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Investigation remains in early stages
The Mustang fatal shooting remains under active investigation as authorities continue interviewing witnesses and reviewing evidence from the home.
Officials have not yet publicly identified either the victim or the suspect pending further investigation and family notification.
Additional updates are expected as investigators continue processing the case.
