A man was arrested Friday night on suspicion that he shot and killed his next-door neighbor in south Tulsa.

Stanley Vernon Majors, 61, is accused of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm after a felony conviction, according to jail documents.

Police believe Majors shot his neighbor near his home in the 9300 block of South 85th East Avenue.

Majors reportedly then pointed his gun at a witness and fled the scene on foot, according to a Tulsa police press release.

When first-responders arrived at the scene, the 37-year-old male victim was found badly wounded. He died after being transported to Saint Francis Hospital, according to the release.

Police later found Majors hiding behind a tree at Hardesty Library, 8316 E. 93rd St., according to the release.

Majors has a criminal history with the family of Friday’s shooting victim. Jail documents show he is awaiting trial on a charge of assault and battery with a deadly weapon from an incident last year in which he was accused of hitting the mother of Friday’s shooting victim with his car.
