   Cedric Dwayne Poore (left) and James Stanford Poore: According to their arrest   
   reports, the brothers told witnesses they planned a robbery at the apartment   
   where four women were found dead Jan. 7. Both suspects were on probation for   
   armed robbery    
   convictions.   
      
   Murder charges were filed Thursday against two suspects in the shooting deaths   
   of four women at the Fairmont Terrace apartments last month.   
      
   Cedric Dwayne Poore, 39, and James Stanford Poore, 32, are each charged with   
   four counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed robbery.   
      
   Cedric Poore was also charged with possession of a firearm after a felony   
   conviction.   
      
   The brothers are accused of killing Julie Jackson, 55; Misty Nunley, 33;   
   Rebeika Powell, 23; and Kayetie Powell Melchor, 23, in Powell's apartment on   
   Jan. 7.   
      
   All four women were shot in the head with their hands bound behind their back,   
   police said.   
      
   According to the Poore brothers' arrest reports, the men told witnesses they   
   were "going to pull a lick" - or robbery - at Powell's apartment in the same   
   building where they were staying.   
      
   Cedric Poore was armed with a .40-caliber pistol, police allege.   
      
   James Poore told police he knew that at least one of the victims used and sold   
   illegal drugs, according to the report.   
      
   Witnesses told police that the men said they shot the women because they could   
   identify them.   
      
   James Poore said he shot one of the victims and that Cedric Poore shot the   
   rest, the arrest report alleges.   
      
   Melchor and Powell are listed on the charges as victims of the armed   
   robberies. Police said both women, who were twin sisters, were living in the   
   apartment where the shooting occurred.   
      
   Powell's son, who was 3 at the time, was in the apartment when the slayings   
   occurred but was not physically harmed.   
      
   First Assistant District Attorney Doug Drummond said: "Filing charges is the   
   first step in our effort to obtain justice for each of these victims, their   
   families and the community. As in any case, both men are presumed innocent   
   until proven guilty. At    
   the appropriate time, the District Attorney's Office must present evidence to   
   prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."   
      
   Drummond said the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office has not decided   
   whether to seek the death penalty.   
      
   "In cases such as these, we review the facts and evidence to determine whether   
   to seek the death penalty as an option of punishment," he said.   
      
   "At some point after the preliminary hearing, we will conduct a formal review   
   and make a determination."   
      
   James Poore also was charged Thursday with shooting with an intent to kill and   
   armed robbery in connection with unrelated crimes that occurred Jan. 5.   
      
   Drummond said a woman was sitting in her car at the Windsail Apartments, 9808   
   E. 73rd St., about 11:30 p.m. that night when a person reached into her car   
   and grabbed her bag, which contained a wallet and other items.   
      
   There was a struggle, and a shot was fired through a window and struck the   
   victim in the leg, he said.   
      
   The woman, who was not named in the charges, was treated at a hospital and   
   released, Drummond said.   
      
   Both brothers have extensive criminal backgrounds that include multiple counts   
   of robbery and drug offenses.   
      
   James Poore was convicted in October 2001 of four counts of armed robbery, for   
   which he served 12 years behind bars. He was released from prison in December   
   2011 and was scheduled to be on probation through 2016.   
      
   Cedric Poore was convicted in 1995 of armed robbery and was sentenced to a   
   35-year prison term. He was scheduled to be on probation until 2017.   
      
   James Poore was arrested about 9 a.m. Feb. 6. Cedric Poore was already in the   
   Tulsa Jail on several traffic warrants.   
      
   Police said both men were staying at Fairmont Terrace, the apartment complex   
   where the four women were shot.   
      
   The two are scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
