TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Prosecutors have filed
first-degree murder charges against two brothers accused of shooting
four women to death at a run-down Tulsa apartment complex in January.
Cedric Poore and his brother, James Poore, were
charged Thursday with four counts of first-degree murder and four
additional counts of robbery with a firearm.
The brothers are charged in the deaths of
23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty
Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson.
The January slayings, which investigators believe
happened during the day, have raised concerns about whether residents in
the south Tulsa neighborhood have been afraid to call in crime tips.
Jail records indicate both men are due to be arraigned in district court on Friday.
Prosecutors said they haven't decided yet whether they'll seek the death penalty.
