On the night of June 24, 36-year-old Johnathan Merriman was killed in a drive-by shooting at Pruett’s Grocery Store in Holdenville, Oklahoma. The attack occurred in public at a routine grocery stop and prompted an immediate homicide investigation by local authorities.

Hughes County deputies arrested two people the day after the shooting, but investigators said a third person was believed to be involved. That third suspect, 27-year-old Tyler Deerinwater, also known as Tee Ross, was later found and arrested on July 28 in a Walmart parking lot in Seminole. Multiple agencies assisted in that arrest, and Deerinwater was booked into the Hughes County jail on a murder charge. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says the inquiry is still active.

If anyone saw the shooting at Pruett’s Grocery Store or has information about the events that led to Merriman’s death, please come forward to investigators.
