OKEMAH, Oklahoma - Two teenagers have been arrested in connection to an overnight murder in Okemah.

Victor Berryhill, Junior, 24, was found dead early Wednesday morning in the parking lot of the Creek Nation Housing Complex in Okemah.

Berryhill appeared to have been beaten and stabbed to death, said Jessica Brown, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Just hours after the Berryhill was found, authorities arrested Tony Gipson, 18, and his 16-year-old brother on murder complaints.

The OSBI will not relase the 16-year-old's name until charges are filed.

Gipson was booked into the Okfuskee County jail.
