Suspect in fatal Historic Westside shooting arrested in Oklahoma
A 27-year-old man suspected in a deadly shooting in late December in the Historic Westside has been apprehended.
Maalik Wilborn, 27, was located and arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, according to a Metropolitan Police Department release.
He was booked into the Tulsa County Jail pending extradition to Las Vegas on a charge of open murder with a deadly weapon.
The shooting occurred around 3 p.m. Dec. 23 near the intersection of H Street and Owens Avenue, police said at the time. A man in his 40s was pronounced dead and a man in his 50s was taken to University Medical Center.
Police later said that they believed the confrontation occurred at a mental health facility that also did podcasting and recording.
Metro Lt. Jason Johansson said at the time that both men “frequented the business” and knew each other, though police were not sure the nature of the relationship.
