A Sand Springs man was
arrested Sunday afternoon in
connection with Tulsa’s 41st
homicide of the year.
Tulsa Police Homicide
Sgt. Dave Walker said Ronnie
Dean Haskins II, 40,
was arrested about 5 p.m. at
a trailer near 1600 S. 145th
West Ave. in Sand Springs.
Haskins is accused of killing
Zachary Montgomery, 24,
about 11 p.m. Saturday.
Montgomery on Saturday
night was found dead inside
a residence at 6105 W. Eighth
St., in Tulsa, having suffered
multiple wounds.
Police have not said what
those wounds were, nor have
they given a motive for the
slaying. Walker said the state
Medical Examiner’s Office
would determine the cause
and manner of death.
Walker said police determined
that a possible suspect
in the homicide had
fled the residence in a 2000
Pontiac Grand Am following
the slaying, and authorities
quickly concentrated on
Haskins as the alleged prime
suspect.
Surveillance maintained
on several
residences
in Sand
Springs led
detectives
and agents
from the
Northern
Oklahoma
Violent
Crimes
Task Force
to the trailer
where Haskins was found.
The Pontiac was found by
Oklahoma Highway Patrol
troopers near Inola, Walker
said. Details of how Haskins
may have gone from Inola to
Sand Springs were not available.
Haskins was being held
without bond on a first-degree
murder complaint.
Haskins’ Oklahoma Department
of Corrections information
lists convictions
stretching back to 1992, for
unlawful delivery of a controlled
dangerous substance,
possession of stolen vehicle,
attempted larceny of an automobile,
unauthorized use
of a motor vehicle and escape
from confinement.
