2nd arrest made in Oklahoma festival shooting that killed one
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) – Police have arrested a second person on in a shooting at an Oklahoma festival last month in which one person was killed and eight others were wounded.
Officers arrested 25-year-old Kendall Alexander on Friday at his home in Muskogee, about 125 miles east of Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said.
He is jailed without bond on one count of first-degree murder and eight counts of shooting with intent to kill.
Alexander is the second person detained in the Memorial Day weekend shooting in Taft, where about 1,500 people were attending an outdoor festival.
Days after the shooting, Skyler Buckner surrendered to police and is currently in custody. Arrest warrants were also issued for two other people.
