An Oklahoma man is wanted after allegedly shooting a Cleveland County deputy and striking and killing a motorist with a stray bullet Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI) said they, along with other law enforcement agencies, are currently searching for 25-year-old Kameron Jenkins, who was last seen on Interstate 35, south of Paul’s Valley.
According to authorities, the deputy was shot near the 60-mile marker of I-35 during an attempted traffic stop that turned into a pursuit.

Jenkins is described as a Black man, roughly 6-foot-4 and between 170–200 pounds. He has black dreadlocks, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a white shirt.
