OKLAHOMA CITY -

Two new arrests have been made in connection to a shootout between rival gangs at a metro bar.

Police have also released the name of the third victim.

Police said two men they arrested were initially spoken to after the gunfight at Whiskey Barrel Saloon.

Three people died in the shootout, police identifying 29-year-old Eric Oberholtzer, 38-year-old Francisco Tanajara, and 29-year-old Andrew Sump all died at the bar.

Police arrested Tyler Myers, 34, on a first-degree murder complaint after he was released from the hospital.

Police said that a group from the Bandidos biker gang punched Myers in the head.

Myers was the first to pull out a gun, causing bar patrons to panic.

That’s when shots were fired inside the bar. Myers exited the bar after being shot multiple times. Police reports said 42-year-old Nicklus Sweet was seen running around the bar shooting Myers in the back twice.

Also, during the fight, 48-year-old Douglas Jacobs walked inside the bar when he saw Oberholtzer shooting, and Jacobs opened fire.

Despite being shot, Oberholtzer continued shooting, even changing his magazine. He then dies on the floor of the bar.

When the police arrived, Sweet and Jacobs spoke with officers. Sweet said he did not have a gun or witness any shootings, while Jacobs claims he never entered the bar during the fight; surveillance footage shows both men firing weapons at the bar.
