A special report: 61st and Peoria

Overview: Misty Nunley, 33; Julie Jackson, 55; Rebeika Powell, 23; and Kayetie Powell Melchor, 23, (clockwise from left) were found shot to death in an apartment at Fairmont Terrace on Monday, Jan. 7. A 3-year-old boy - Powell's son - was found unharmed in the apartment.

CEDRIC DWAYNE POORE

Poore is in the Tulsa Jail on complaints
that include four first-degree murder counts.

Age: 39

Arrested: Jan. 14 on unrelated complaint and was already in the Tulsa Jail on Feb. 6 when his brother was arrested in connection with the crime.

Background: Received a 35-year prison term in 1995 in Tulsa County for armed robbery and was released from prison March 14, 2011. He was scheduled to be on probation until 2017. He received a one-year suspended sentence in October on a charge of obstructing an officer.

Prison record: Served time at more than five different facilities since 1995. He received misconducts for smoking, beating up another inmate and a positive drug test during his incarceration. His most serious offense stemmed from a 2005 riot at the Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing, in which one inmate was killed.

Adam Lippert, who was serving time on a Lincoln County drug conviction, was pronounced dead at a Cushing hospital after being beaten and stabbed numerous times by a group of black inmates, records show. Lippert sported "white pride" and United Aryan Brotherhood tattoos, prison records show.

Court records state that the fight occurred when "more than forty black inmates" rushed a group of white inmates and started "beating them with bats and horseshoes."

Video of the fight and officers who witnessed it stated that Cedric Poore - whose prison nickname was "Insane" - was one of the assailants. A charge of first-degree murder, later amended to rioting, was filed against him in Payne County but was later dismissed.

Prison record: His most recent and severe misconducts were while serving time at Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy. In 2009, he got caught selling or trading an ink pen containing prescription pills to another inmate, was caught in possession of a "green leafy substance" presumed to be marijuana and was also caught with a cell phone.
