TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a 14-year-old boy who has been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old girl in north Tulsa.
The suspect was charged with first-degree murder, as well as assault and battery with a deadly weapon on Thursday.
Authorities say Deouijanae Terry and 18-year-old Jerome Bledsoe were sitting in a vehicle, when a van with five people pulled up next to them around 4 p.m. on July 17th.

Both victims were transported to a hospital, where Terry later died. Bledsoe was left in serious condition.
