TULSA, Oklahoma -- A manhunt is underway for an Alabama man wanted in connection with four murders in two states.
Stacy Lee Drake, 50, is sought on three homicides in Oklahoma and one in Alabama, authorities said Wednesday.
Drake is from Birmingham, police said. Alabama court records described him as homeless and noted a previous Arizona residence.On Tuesday, the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation responded to a double homicide in Gans.
Deputies about 6:30 p.m. responded to a business near State Highway 64 and South 4670 Road. When they arrived, they found a man and woman dead inside a business.
Both had injuries consistent with homicide, state authorities said, but did not elaborate.
Details of the third homicide in Oklahoma weren’t immediately available but OSBI said three people were killed during two separate carjackings.
“Drake is separately wanted on multiple felony warrants from multiple jurisdictions, with charges including aggravated robbery, carjacking, and murder,’’ according to the press release.
The vehicle Drake reportedly took during one of the crimes was found late Tuesday night parked at a hotel in Morrilton, Arkansas.
Morrilton police said Wednesday that Drake was seen on video in the hotel’s parking lot. The hotel was searched but Drake was not located.
Arkansas officials said Drake has an active warrant for homicide out of Alabama. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.
It was not immediately clear where in Alabama Drake is wanted. Outstanding warrants are not public until they have been served on the suspect.
Drake is a white male with brown hair and eyes. He is 5-feet, 11-inches tall and weighs 185 pounds.
Anyone with information on Drake’s whereabouts is asked to contact the OSBI at 1-800-522-8017 or [email protected].
