TULSA, Okla. (AP) — An arrest warrant on a first-degree murder charge has been issued for a suspect in the shooting death of a man at a Tulsa motel.
Police Sgt. Dave Walker said Friday that 25-year-old Roderick Whiteside is wanted for the shooting death of Cedrick Gilmer at Studio 6 Motel in southeast Tulsa. Police are also searching for a gold or pewter, mid-2000s Chevrolet Tahoe that's believed to have been used as the getaway vehicle.
Walker says there was a party going on at the motel and that Whiteside and at least one other suspect arrived with the intent to rob Gilmer.
