Oklahoma man identified as 'armed and dangerous' person of interest in parents' murder

CLAYTON, Okla. (KNWA/KFTA) — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says it is searching for a man described as a "person of interest" in his parents' murder at a home in southeast Oklahoma.

OSBI said in a social media post that the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Office requested assistance from the department to investigate a double homicide on Sept. 11.

Deputies responded to a welfare check at a residence on State Highway 43 in Clayton. Once deputies arrived, they found the bodies of an elderly man and woman in the home.

Officials determined the two suffered injuries consistent with homicide.

OSBI said that based on evidence and information investigators gathered, the victims' son, identified as Jeffery Baker, 35, is considered a "person of interest" in the two deaths.

Baker is believed to be driving a gray 2013 Dodge Caravan with license plate number MPU 474. OSBI said that was the victims' vehicle.

OSBI said that Baker is considered "armed and dangerous." Officials believe that Baker may be in the Pushmataha or LeFlore County area.

Anyone with information on Baker or his whereabouts is asked to contact OSBI at 1-800-522-8017 or tips@osbi.ok.gov.
