Warrant Issued For Suspect In Deadly Bricktown Shooting

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a suspect believed to be involved in the shooting death of a Bricktown patron on Saturday.

Oklahoma City Police are trying to a serve a warrant for first-degree murder on 28-year-old Christopher Benson. Police believe Benson is the man responsible for the shooting death of Zachary Bowie, 30, outside of Social night club in Bricktown.
