The Tulsa County District Attorney's Office has filed charges against two men suspected of killing three and wounding two during a shooting spree on Good Friday.
Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 31, were each charged with three counts of first degree murder, two counts of shooting with intent to kill and five counts of malicious harassment; the equivalent of hate crimes according to the D.A.'s office.
Bobby Clark, Dannaer Fields and William Allen were killed last Friday. Deon Tucker and David Hall were also shot.
"Filing charges is the first step to obtain justice for the victims and their families," said Doug Drummond, Tulsa County First Assistant District Attorney. "This is a tragic and senseless crime. Our office is committed to holding those responsible accountable for their actions."
The potential punishment for each of the murder charges is live with parole, life without parole or the death penalty.
England's attorney, prominent Tulsa area defense attorney Clark Brewster, says he will hold a press conference Friday afternoon.
