LUTHER, Okla. – Police are investigating a deadly shooting in Luther.
Authorities say they were called to reports of a disturbance on Sorghum Mill Rd. near Luther Rd. around 4 a.m. Monday.
When officers arrived, they found 22-year-old Tyler Muck dead from an apparent gun shot wound.
Witnesses at the scene told police that Muck was arguing with his wife, which then turned into a physical altercation.
That is when authorities say Muck’s wife and two other males asked him to leave the home.
Instead of leaving, Muck allegedly raised a weapon and pointed it at 25-year-old William Haywood, Jr., an arrest warrant states.
Haywood then allegedly pulled out his own gun and shot Muck.
