According to Okmulgee Police Chief, Joe Prentice, the four murdered individuals had all suffered gunshot wounds and were planning to commit a crime when they stepped out on their bicycles.

Besides Kennedy, the police have said that there is another person of interest in the case who is missing. The person, who has denied any knowledge of these four men, is a “person of interest that we’d like to talk to”, Prentice said.

However, the police said that said person has been missing since Saturday and chances are that he might be suicidal.
