Verdell Walker, 20, died from his wounds Monday afternoon, and TPD said on Tuesday that 22-year-old Tiara Sawyer also has died.

Detectives say they recovered a .38-caliber revolver from the home in Jenks where they arrested Ashton.

He is being held in the Tulsa County Jail, on complaints of first-degree murder and shooting with intent to kill. He had outstanding warrants for several charges including failure to appear for possession of a controlled drug, obstructing an officer and traffic offenses.

Police records show Ashton also had about 100 Xanax pills and a bag of marijuana on him when he was arrested.
