An Oklahoma man is wanted after allegedly shooting a Cleveland County deputy and striking and killing a motorist with a stray bullet Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI) said they, along with other law enforcement agencies, are currently searching for 25-year-old Kameron Jenkins, who was last seen on Interstate 35, south of Paul’s Valley.
According to authorities, the deputy was shot near the 60-mile marker of I-35 during an attempted traffic stop that turned into a pursuit.
The deputy was flown from the scene to a nearby hospital, where he was reportedly listed in stable condition.
An innocent bystander, Gwaun Frierson, was killed after being shot when gunfire was exchanged. Authorities have not confirmed who shot and killed Frierson.
Jenkins is described as a Black man, roughly 6-foot-4 and between 170–200 pounds. He has black dreadlocks, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a white shirt.
The Oklahoma State Highway Patrol added that Jenkins is considered armed and dangerous and could be in possession of a semi-automatic weapon.
Authorities encourage anyone who sees Jenkins to call 911.
Officials said Jenkins could be in the back of a white trailer being pulled by a black pickup truck.
