A Bartlesville man suspected in a Dec. 22, 2025 shooting is now in custody after federal agents and Bartlesville police executed a warrant early Thursday morning.

According to Acting Bartlesville Police Chief Troy Newell, the FBI and police conducted the arrest in the 1600 block of Maple and arrested Willis Gray, who has been identified as a suspect in the shooting of another man in the Woodland Park area on Dec. 22.

We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as the investigation progresses.”
