OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Police in Oklahoma City say that a suspect is in custody in connection with the early morning shooting death of a 20-year-old man at an apartment complex on the city’s northwest side.
Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Gary Knight says 24-year-old Mantraz Mentray Jones was taken into custody Tuesday during a traffic stop in south Oklahoma City following a manhunt that lasted several hours.
Investigators say that police found the victim, identified as Demetrius Andre Spratt, at about 2:35 a.m. Tuesday after responding to reports of a shooting at the apartment complex. Police say Spratt died at the scene of an apparent gunshot wound.
Investigators say that the shooting followed some type of altercation between Spratt and Jones and that Jones fled the scene afterward. No one else was injured.
