Cops: Jewelry taken from man found dead after fire


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City police say $10,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from one of four people found shot to death last week inside a burning home.

Police Sgt. Gary Knight said Thursday that 32-year-old Casey Barrientos was wearing a large diamond-and-white-gold necklace, along with matching earrings and a bracelet.

Knight says the jewelry has not been recovered.

Barrientos was discovered shot to death at the home, along with three women, including a prostitute featured on the HBO reality series “Cathouse.”

Twenty-eight-year-old David Allen Tyner of Locust Grove was arrested on murder complaints earlier this week, but Knight says investigators don’t believe he acted alone.

Tyner has not been formally charged. A telephone message left Thursday with the public defender’s office was not immediately returned.
