A Tulsa County jury convicted a man of murder Monday evening in the deaths of two people who prosecutors said were shot "execution style" in the head at a Tulsa park.

Darren Price was found guilty of two counts of first-degree "felony" murder, as well as two counts of robbery with a firearm and one count of eluding police.

Jurors will return to the courtroom Tuesday in the next phase of the trial, at which District Attorney Tim Harris' office is seeking the death penalty.

During the first phase of the trial, jurors were not allowed to hear evidence of Price's records, so prosecutors now will also try him on an additional charge -- possessing a firearm as a felon.

Price, 19, and a co-defendant, Jerard Davis, 21, were both charged with the Sept. 18 killings of Carissa Horton, 18, and Ethan Nichols, 21.

The bodies of Horton, an Oral Roberts University student, and Nichols, who worked at the Blue Bell Creamery in Broken Arrow, were found Sept. 19 in Hicks Park, in the 3400 block of South Mingo Road.

Davis and Price admitted that they were present but denied doing the shooting, a Tulsa police detective said at a preliminary hearing in January.
