Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the man accused of killing Tulsa police Sergeant Craig Johnson in a June shooting.
In a Thursday filing, Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler noted Johnson was a peace officer and that his murder was especially cruel and done to escape arrest.
The filing also argues 33-year-old David Ware presents an ongoing risk to society.
In a previous interview, defense attorney Kevin Adams said he fully expected prosecutors to pursue the death penalty.
