OKLAHOMA CITY – One man has been arrested after two bodies were discovered inside a home daycare in Oklahoma City.
On Tuesday afternoon, officers were called by neighbors to check on the welfare of a couple who lived in a home near N.W. 122nd St. and May Ave.
When police arrived, they found 20-year-old Quinton Dashawn Laster outside of the home.
As they made their way inside, they found the bodies of 78-year-old James Earl Reed and 59-year-old Sharon Reed.
According to officials with the Oklahoma City Police Department, the victims had been shot and decapitated.
Family members told NewsChannel 4 that the home was being used as a daycare at the time of the murders.
Authorities say they discovered three small children in a covered garage.
Fortunately, the children were not harmed and were later reunited with their families.
“Luckily, they weren’t injured in any way, shape or form,” said Sgt. Ashley Peters, with the Oklahoma City Police Department.
Officials say Laster is the grandson of Sharon Reed. He was arrested on two complaints of first-degree murder.
