Man Found Guilty in Fatal Shooting in Tulsa

 

A man charged in the fatal shooting of another man in Tulsa has been found guilty.

21-year-old Keelan McDuffie was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Jorge Zuniga. A jury has recommended a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Authorities say Zuniga was found dead in a wrecked vehicle with a gunshot wound on March 7, 2015 outside the St. Thomas Square apartment complex.

Prosecutors said that McDuffie's ex-girlfriend told authorities that McDuffie had been upset with the way Zuniga had treated her the day before the shooting.

McDuffie will be sentenced at a later date.
