Rebeika Powell (left) and Kayetie Melchor were among four women found dead inside an Oklahoma apartment on Jan. 7, 2013 after an apparent daylight shooting in a crime-scarred south Tulsa neighborhood. The 23-year-old twins were discovered along with the bodies of 33-year-old Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson. Two brothers, James Poore and Cedric Poore, were arrested and charged in the shooting deaths of four women at a Tulsa apartment complex.
Two brothers, James Poore (left) and Cedric Poore, were arrested and charged in the shooting deaths of four women at a Tulsa apartment complex. On Jan. 7, 2013 twin sisters Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Powell-Melchor, 23; Misty Nunley, 33, and Julie Jackson, 55 were found murdered inside an apartment at the Fairmont Terrace Apartments in Tulsa. Police say each woman was shot. A 3-year-old boy also found inside the apartment was unharmed. Authorities say James, 32, and Cedric, 39, lived in the same apartment complex where the women were found. Both have pleaded not guilty. Court records show both men have prior felony convictions for robbery. Authorities believe the brothers robbed the women, then killed them because they feared they would be identified. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether they will seek the death penalty.
