The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is looking into the death of a man found at a Warner home on Saturday, Aug. 30.

Authorities identified the victim as 51-year-old Jesse Martin. Investigators said Martin was involved in an altercation with a suspect before he was killed.

Warner police said the suspect, whose name has not been released, was found outside a nearby home with a gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital.
