This shooting left two people seriously injured, and one person is already in custody in connection with the shooting.
What happened at the Osage Casino Hotel?
A fight and shooting broke out early Saturday morning, April 12, inside the hotel hallway of the Osage Casino.

One victim was assaulted, and another was accidentally shot during the chaos.
Who is in custody?
Malik Nakai Sampson was arrested in Tulsa on Monday night. He’s being held at the Osage County Jail and faces serious charges:

- Assault and battery with a dangerous weapon

“The security footage is extremely high quality… this entire event has played out through the security cameras. So we get a lot of evidence,” Sheriff Bart Perrier said.
How important was the surveillance footage?
Crucial. The Osage Casino’s security system captured the entire event, which gave investigators a clear timeline and visual evidence of what happened.
Is Goff dangerous?
Authorities say yes.
They believe Goff may be armed and dangerous.
If you see him or know where he is, alert authorities.
Were dogs involved?
There’s been some confusion on social media. Here’s the truth:
- A person with service dogs helped assist victims.
- The suspects did not harm or shoot any dogs, according to Sheriff Perrier.
