Victims in Oklahoma City motorcycle gang shootout
According to authorities, three men were killed in the exchange, which involved at least nine members of various motorcycle clubs.
Two suspects were identified by the police as Francisco Tanajara, 38, and Eric Oberholtzer, 29. The identity of the third victim had not been released as of Tuesday, pending positive identification and family notification.
Tyler Myers, 34, Felicia Wallace, 35, and Clayton Owens, 36, were the injured victims.
Myers is depicted on his Facebook account wearing a 1% pendant and posing with men wearing Homietos motorcycle club vests. On the platform, Oberholtzer had also posted photos of himself wearing the club’s colors.
Over the years, the Texas-based group has engaged in violent altercations with the rival Bandidos motorcycle club, including a recent public shootout at a gas station on Interstate 45 in Madisonville, Texas.
Oberholtzer was identified as one of three men arrested in connection with the incident in question.
According to an affidavit obtained by Oklahoma City’s News 9, surveillance footage reveals that Myers and Oberholtzer entered the bar on Saturday and spoke with a man wearing Bandidos symbols.

Seven persons are seen in a group on video
A group of seven people can be seen following Myers and Oberholtzer at one point before an unidentified man hits Myers in the back of the head.
Initially, Myers reportedly attempted to defend himself with a chair, but several individuals involved in the altercation pulled out firearms.
Oberholtzer shot Tanajara, though the precise sequence of events is unclear, according to police. Oberholtzer was shot by an unidentified person, who was then shot by Myers and later died.
In light of the detectives’ ongoing investigation, more arrests could be made, according to the police. On Tuesday, it was impossible to contact the county prosecutor’s office.
Myers was being held without bail at the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a charge of first-degree murder.
