A fight in a neighborhood near Yukon turned into a deadly shooting over the weekend.

One man died and police arrested 21-year-old Ramari Boone-Haye at the scene. Boone-Haye was booked into the Canadian County jail on complaints of first-degree murder and pointing a firearm.

Police were called to investigate a shooting at a home near Britton Road and Mustang Road early Sunday morning. Officers found 49-year-old William Birdtail dead at the scene from multiple gunshot injuries.

“It appears that the victim was in some type of altercation with the person there just outside of the residence,” said Sgt. Dillon Quirk, Oklahoma City Police Department.

Witnesses told officers the victim was in a fight with Boone-Haye when he was shot. Police did not say what led up to the fight.

Police said the investigation is not over and asked the public to call the homicide tip line at (405) 297-1200 with information that could help the investigation.
