Teen arrested in connection with high school football game shooting that left one dead
A 15-year-old boy was arrested early Wednesday on a second-degree murder complaint after Friday night's shooting at the Choctaw and Del City football game.
Oklahoma County Sheriff Tommie Johnson III said the suspect, whose name was not released, was taken into custody "without incident" by officers from Choctaw, Oklahoma City, the U.S. Marshal's office and Oklahoma County's warrants team.
Choctaw police said the suspect was formerly a student in the Mid-Del school district, but was not attending at the time of the shooting.
Johnson said the warrant was issued Tuesday evening, and the arrest was made around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The warrant issued for the teen's arrest states probable cause was established through witness interviews with investigators.

Those interviews indicated the altercation that led to 16-year-old victim Cordea Carter's death may have been started by another person. The victim also has been identified as Cordae Carter and Corday Carter by various law enforcement officials and family members.
That second person is believed to have started fighting with Carter, while another witness said the shooter "ran from behind ... while fumbling a black gun in both hand ... approaching Cordae closely while firing the gun."
Two other people were hit with gunfire, including a 42-year-old man shot in the chest by an off-duty Del City police officer working security at the game who fired at least one shot, and a girl who was shot in the leg. The girl was released after receiving treatment at an area hospital.
Investigators also recovered two guns and eight rounds at the scene.
The arrest warrant also indicates the accused shooter was injured during the event, receiving treatment from Choctaw's fire department for a head injury inside the school's weight room.
The alleged shooter gave firefighters his name while he was being treated, the affidavit states.
