A Tulsa man is facing a charge of second-degree murder in connection with a shooting death Sunday in downtown Tulsa during a Juneteenth celebration.
Timetrious Moore, 19, was arrested June 21. At approximately 10:50 p.m. that day a shooting took place near in the 300 block of North Greenwood Avenue that claimed the life of 22-year-old Isaiah Knight.
TPD had been actively investigating the incident, “using multiple resources to locate the shooter. Through video surveillance, detectives found footage showing the suspect shoot the victim. However, we still needed a name,” the department said.
On Tuesday, after interviewing an associate of the suspect identified in the video, investigators confirmed that the suspect was Timetrious Moore.
Moore was later arrested at his residence and brought to the department’s Detective Division. During questioning he admitted, police said, to firing his weapon one or two times into the crowded intersection, as shown on the video.
“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this senseless act of violence is ongoing. We are also searching for a second suspect responsible for shooting and injuring several other people at Juneteenth,” TPD said in a statement.
“The Tulsa Police Department remains committed to ensuring justice and safety in our community. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation during this investigation.”
