Tulsa County prosecutors plan to ask for the death penalty for one of two men charged in a triple homicide last year.

The district attorney says the murders of Marquis Brown, Hosea Fletcher, and 7-year-old Maziah Brown were especially heinous. They say the proper punishment for Keenan Burkhalter, if convicted, should be execution.

Investigators say the three were still alive in a home when Burkhalter set the home on fire. Another man, Andrew Conard, is awaiting trial for the killings.
