Victims of Tulsa double homicide identified


TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa police have identified two people killed during a weekend home invasion as a Tulsa man and a Californian.



Police say 22-year-old Jonathan Randall Rush of Tulsa and 29-year-old Michaellee Dwayne Richardson of Modesto, Calif., were shot when armed intruders entered the home in northeast Tulsa about 10:20 p.m. Saturday.



Police also say a man wanted for questioning — Justin Bryant — has been found and is no longer a person of interest in the case. Police say Bryant was also in the home during the invasion.



Police Capt. Karen Tipler said an unspecified number of people forced their way into the home where four people were present. Bryant and a woman who were inside survived.
