TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A man accused in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend's date has been charged with first-degree murder.

Police say 18-year-old Juan Carlos Perez shot and killed Omar Antonio Garcia on Feb. 7. Charges were filed on Friday.

A witness detained Perez until police officers arrived and arrested him. They found Garcia lying on the mobile home's front steps with a gunshot wound to the head.

Court records do not indicate if Perez has retained an attorney.

Along with the first-degree murder charge, Perez is being held for immigration agents at the Tulsa Jail.
