Police have arrested a man who allegedly threatened a woman and shot at her Monday night in north Tulsa after she told him she was going to break up with him.

Officers responded to a reported shooting in the 1100 block of North New Haven Avenue about 10:40 p.m. and came into contact with the suspect, who was identified as Marcelind De La Cruz. Jail records indicate De La Cruz, 34, is homeless.

The officers found a firearm on De La Cruz while taking him into custody, according to an arrest report.

Police then interviewed the reported victim, who told them De La Cruz began threatening her after she "tried to leave him," the report states. She said the man pointed a gun at her and told her he would kill her if she left him.

De La Cruz then allegedly fired the weapon, nearly striking the woman, the report states.

De La Cruz was booked into the Tulsa Jail on complaint of shooting with intent to kill in addition to an immigration hold. He is being held without bond.
