An arrest warrant for a suspect accused in two separate murder cases.

A warrant was issued for Dave Tariq Walker, 19, who is accused of killing 20-year-old Marquez Petit back in September of 2019.

Oklahoma City police also connected Walker to a November shooting that killed 47-year-old James Leonard Smith.

This is a developing story.
