Oklahoma City Police are searching for the suspect in a deadly shooting that took place late Thursday at Wheeler park near Interstate 40 and Western Avenue.

Police say the gunshots sent people running from the park.

When police were investigating, they found several shell casings and a man dead in the parking lot.

The second victim is a juvenile, and his name will not be released.
