A robbery in northwest Oklahoma City on Sunday evening ended with a vehicle pursuit and crash that left two people in custody while a third suspect remains free, police said. The episode, which unfolded near Somerset Place and West Fairfield Avenue, has prompted a continuing search and heightened concern among nearby residents.
Police say the incident began when two men, one reportedly armed, approached and robbed a victim before fleeing in a car occupied by a third person. Officers located the vehicle and followed it slowly through the neighborhood close to NW Expressway and NW 63rd Street, where the vehicle ultimately crashed, authorities reported.
Two occupants were taken into custody at the scene. A third suspect escaped on foot and is still being sought. Police described the person who fled as a Black male, approximately 17–18 years old.
