Second Man Arrested for Tulsa's 68th Homicide This Year

Tulsa Police have made a second arrest in the city’s 68th homicide of the year.

Dillon Rose, 25, turned himself in yesterday afternoon.

The victim, 38-year-old Jason Harris, was found around 5:15 a.m. Wednesday in the front seat of a Jeep parked on the inside shoulder of U.S. 169 near 31st Street. Harris had been shot. Passersby told Tulsa Police they saw the car sitting there as early as 3:45 a.m.

Officers initially found the Jeep's previous owner sold it for cash. They were able to find the owner, 29-year-old Dustin Baker, later Wednesday and determined he was driving at the time of the murder. Baker was arrested the same day.

Baker is charged with murder and using a gun in commission of a felony. He is being held without bond.

Rose is charged with murder, armed robbery and kidnapping. He is being held without bond. Rose was also wanted for an armed robbery in Sapulpa.
