From their initial investigation, Detectives believe Quinonez and 25-year-old Tyler Waterman got into an argument inside the vehicle when Waterman shot him. Police said Waterman then fled the scene.

Waterman was later arrested the same day at a residence in Moore and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center close to midnight on a murder complaint. He is being held without bond.
