Video showed Tyler Myers and Eric Oberholtzer walking into the Whiskey Barrel Saloon located near Newcastle Road and South Shawnee Avenue.

Myers and Oberholtzer were seen talking to an unidentified man who had gang symbols on for the Bandidos motorcycle gang. The affidavit stated that Myers and Oberholtzer were members of a rival gang to the Bandidos, the Homietos.

The duo were then seen walking back into the bar followed by seven individuals who were affiliated with the Bandidos gang.

The unidentified man then hit Myers in the back of the head, causing him to fall to the ground.

The other men approached Myers before he used a chair to keep the men away from him.

Myers then pulled out a gun while Oberholtzer got into a physical altercation with Francisco Tanajara that turned deadly, the affidavit said.

Oberholtzer began shooting at Tanajara when another man started shooting at Oberholtzer.

Oberholtzer fell to the ground during this incident as Myers continued to engage with the unidentified male.

The affidavit stated that Myers had walked up to the unidentified male, who was crawling on the ground at that point, before running off.

Myers then re-engaged from the patio door and shot toward the direction of the unidentified male.

The unidentified man, Oberholtzer and Tanajara were pronounced dead at the scene.

Myers was transported to the hospital before he was arrested on a first-degree murder complaint.

Two other people were injured in this incident. Their current condition is unknown.

Oklahoma City Police said the investigation is in the early stages and more arrests are possible.
