OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Two men have been arrested and charged with first‑degree murder in connection with a double homicide that occurred on Friday, February 6, law enforcement officials confirmed.
The Incident and Police Response
On the afternoon of Feb. 6, the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call near NW 10th Street and N. Virginia Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered two adult males suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Investigators later identified the two victims as Claude Bagby, 63, and Stanley Reid, 43, who were both pronounced deceased at the scene.
Suspects Identified and Arrested
Police say witnesses reported seeing 20‑year‑old Hugo Angel and 42‑year‑old James Pruiett inside a tent on the property of 1010 N. Virginia Avenue when multiple gunshots were heard. Witness accounts later indicated that the two men were acquaintances.
Angel was located and arrested on Sunday, Feb. 8, though that arrest was initially on unrelated charges, not the homicide.
Surveillance footage from a nearby gas station showed what appeared to be Angel running away from the scene shortly after the shooting occurred. Police were subsequently able to track his movements to a tent where multiple rifle casings were recovered during their investigation.
Law enforcement also alleges that Pruiett was seen encouraging Angel to flee from behind a storage container just before calling 911 to report the incident.
Suspect Statements and Charges
After their arrests, both Angel and Pruiett were charged with first‑degree murder and are being held on a combined $10 million bond.
In his statement to investigators, Pruiett admitted he was inside the tent when the shooting happened, although he claimed he did not see who fired the shots. He also told investigators it took several minutes to call 911 because he struggled to silence the music playing on his phone before placing the call.
Investigation Status and Next Steps
Authorities are continuing to work the case and have not released any additional details about motives or whether further charges may be forthcoming. The arrests bring a major development to an investigation that prompted significant police resources and community concern following the weekend shooting.
