A deadly shooting in southwest Oklahoma City has left one man dead and another behind bars, according to police. The incident unfolded Thursday morning near Southwest 36th Street and Parkview Avenue, where authorities discovered a man fatally wounded in the bed of a pickup truck.

The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Omero Quinonez, who died at the scene before emergency responders could provide aid. Police say the shooting stemmed from an argument between Quinonez and 25-year-old Tyler Waterman. Although the details of their dispute have not been fully disclosed, investigators believe the confrontation escalated into violence that ended with Quinonez’s death.

Following the shooting, Waterman fled the scene, prompting a multi-agency search. He was later located in Moore, Oklahoma, and taken into custody without incident. Waterman has since been booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a murder complaint.

The Oklahoma City Police Department confirmed that the investigation remains ongoing, with detectives working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the altercation. Officials have not confirmed whether the two men knew each other prior to the deadly encounter.

Neighbors in the area were shaken by the violence, expressing concern about a fatal shooting happening in their typically quiet community. Police emphasized there is no continued threat to the public with the suspect now in custody.

As the legal process moves forward, Quinonez’s family is left mourning a sudden and devastating loss. The case serves as another stark reminder of the dangers of disputes escalating into deadly violence.

The Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office will review the case to determine formal charges against Waterman.
