UPDATE: Names of teens killed in BA released, driver turns herself in.

TULSA — UPDATE: Wagoner County investigators have released the name of the man who shot and killed three suspected burglars Monday in a home just outside Broken Arrow.

They say Zach Peters fired the fatal shots after confronting 19-year-old Maxwell Cook, 17-year-old Jacob Redfern, and 16-year-old Jaykob Woodriff. All three were dressed in black and wore masks armed with brass knuckles and a knife. The youngest two were still in school in Owasso.

An affidavit obtained by KRMG indicates Peters knew Elizabeth Rodriguez, the woman arrested in connection with the incident. Rodriguez, 21, turned herself in at the Broken Arrow Police Department after hearing about the shootings.

Deputy Nick Mahoney with the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office tells KRMG Rodriguez drove the three teens to the home in the 9100 block of South Clearview Drive.

She allegedly knew they intended to burglarize the home.

Because her actions constitute a possible felony, and the three were killed during the commission of that felony, Rodriguez faces those first-degree murder charges, as well as burglary charges.

A man and his son were home when the suspects forced their way into the house through a back door, Mahoney tells KRMG.

The son, Zach Peters, armed himself with an AR-15 rifle and opened fire on the suspects.

Two of them died inside the home, the third made it outside before collapsing and dying in the driveway.

All three were between the ages of 16 and 19, according to Mahoney, and lived in the Tulsa area.

Booking records indicate Rodriguez has an Oologah address.

She’s being held without bond.
