Vigil Set at Shooting Scene

KWGS News

A candle-light vigil is set for this evening outside the home where a Tulsa teenager was shot and killed reportedly by an off-duty Tulsa Police officer

 Two Tulsa police officers, who are married,  have been arrested in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man who was walking with their daughter, authorities said.

Tulsa police say 19-year-old Jeremy Lake was found shot to death Tuesday night near downtown.

Fifty-four-year-old Shannon Kepler was arrested on a complaint of first-degree murder and 48-year-old Gina Kepler was arrested on a complaint of accessory to murder after the fact. Both were booked in the Tulsa County jail. It wasn't immediately clear whether they had attorneys.

Tulsa police spokeswoman Jillian Roberson says both officers were off duty. They have been placed on paid administrative leave.

Eighteen-year-old Lisa Kepler said  her parents had kicked out her out and she was living with her boyfriend.
