One delivery worker is dead and another was flown to an Oklahoma City hospital after a dispute over a misdelivered stove erupted into a stabbing and shooting Monday morning in rural Logan County, east of Guthrie. The two men were riding in the same truck for a third-party delivery company when they apparently realized they'd gone to the wrong house, got out, and began fighting in the road.
According to the News 9 report on the developing story, the Logan County Sheriff's Office received a call shortly before 8 a.m. about a disturbance at a home near East College Avenue and Autumn Woods Farm Road, an area east of Guthrie and northwest of Meridian. A separate account from KOCO places the initial call shortly after 7:45 a.m. near College Avenue and Henney Road — the two reports differ on the precise location, and that discrepancy has not been resolved.
Deputies who responded found evidence of a shooting, per the sheriff's office. Authorities said the dispute was between two delivery drivers in the same truck working for a third-party company, and that the pair had been trying to deliver a stove before the confrontation broke out, KOCO reported. At some point during the delivery, the two realized they were at the wrong house, according to the sheriff's office.
Fight in the Road Turns Violent
The driver and the other person got out of the vehicle and started fighting in the road, KOCO's account states. One of them was stabbed, and the other was shot and killed. The person who was stabbed was also run over, according to the same report, and was flown to a hospital in Oklahoma City, though their condition remains unknown.
The worker who was shot was pronounced dead at the scene, per Ponca City Now. Investigators have not determined why the two delivery workers began fighting, and no names have been released for either man, according to News 9.
Four Juveniles in the Truck Were Unhurt
Four juveniles who were riding along in the delivery truck on their way to school were not hurt during the altercation, KOCO reported. Their presence adds another unsettling layer to a case that authorities are still piecing together.
The Logan County Sheriff's Office has not released further details on potential charges or who may have been the aggressor, and the deadly incident remains under investigation. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
