The two suspects in the Oklahoma Good Friday killings have confessed, according to news reports.
Jacob C. England, 19, who is said to be Cherokee, allegedly shot and killed one African-American man. Two others he allegedly shot were wounded.
Alvin L. Watts, 32, who is said to be England's roommate, allegedly shot and killed two African-American men. A third was wounded.
The two men admitted they drove to a predominantly African-American neighborhood in north Tulsa to look for victims.
England was reportedly motivated by the April 5, 2010, murder of his father -- the person of interest, who was never charged, is an African-American man.
England and Watts face charges of first-degree murder, shooting with intent to kill and
possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
