A husband told investigators he had been drinking whiskey and taking medication when he pointed a revolver at his wife as a joke to scare her before he pulled the trigger and killed her.

Prosecutors in Seminole County have filed homicide charges — ranging from manslaughter to first-degree murder — against Melvin Darrell Streater, 74, in the Sept. 4 shooting death of his wife, Trevia Sue Streater, 73.

The charges state he also fired two shots at his granddaughter who was at the scene. Dana Streater was not hit by gunfire.

Melvin Streater was arrested after the shooting at the couple's home at 1422 S Seminole and was taken to the Seminole County jail. Trevia Streater was taken to a hospital in Holdenville, where she died.
