Tulsa Man Charged with First Degree Murder in Indian Country
Benjamin Montgomery, 22-year-old man, met a tragic end in October 2019. According to sources, Jamalo Keon Bruner, Jr., 25, of Tulsa and a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, was arrested after being federally indicted for First Degree Felony Murder in Indian Country.
The unsealed indictment alleges that in October 2019, Bruner attempted to rob or burglarize an individual. Unfortunately, Montgomery lost his life in the process.
Since 2019, the Tulsa Police Department has worked diligently investigating the case. Court records show that two additional non-Indian defendants are charged in State Court for first-degree felony murder of Mr. Montgomery.
FOLLOWING THE McGirt DECISION AND BRUNER’S TRIBAL STATUS, THE FBI IS WORKING WITH THE TULSA POLICE DEPARTMENT ON THE INVESTIGATION.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eric O. Johnston and Tyson McCoy are prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
