Triple murder suspect on the loose in Arkansas is ‘armed and dangerous’: police

A man wanted for three murders in Oklahoma is on the loose in Arkansas and considered "armed and dangerous," state police said on Wednesday.

Arkansas State Police (ASP) are on the hunt for an Alabama man wanted for three murders in Oklahoma and a slew of other charges. 

Stacy Lee Drake, 50, was last seen outside a motel in Morrilton, Arkansas, about an hour drive northwest of Little Rock. He is believed to be "armed and dangerous," ASP said. 

Drake is wanted in connection with three homicides in Oklahoma, stemming from two carjackings, ASP said. 

Deputies with the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma responded to a business near State Highway 64 and South 4670 Road on Tuesday evening, where they found a deceased male and female.

Both victims were transported to the Office of the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner for identification and to determine their cause of death. 

The sheriff’s office requested assistance from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI). 

OSBI began investigating the scene and identified Drake as a person of interest. The bureau said a car Drake had stolen was located in Morrilton late Tuesday, but investigators are still working to find him.

ASP has advised anyone who has seen Drake to not approach him and call 911.
