An Oklahoma man being held in the deaths of two
women who were fatally shot at a grave-marker business in De Queen.
The suspect was taken into custody in Oklahoma following the
crash of a car stolen in that state after the shootings in
Arkansas.
The bodies of 46-year-old Mona Lee Shelton and 45-year-old Donna
Marie Cary, both from Gillham, were discovered late yesterday
morning by a delivery driver who had gone to Cornerstone Monuments.
In custody is 29-year-old Mickey David Thomas of Broken Bow. He
was arrested around 5 p.m. yesterday when he crashed the stolen car
on Highway 259 near its intersection with U.S. 70 outside Idabel,
Oklahoma.
Thomas is being held by the McCurtain County Sheriff`s Office,
while authorities make arrangements to bring him back to Arkansas
on two counts of murder.
Arkansas State Police are helping De Queen police with the
double homicide investigation.
