Rebecca Louise Bryan, 52, was booked into the Canadian County Jail on a first-degree murder complaint in connection with Tuesday’s shooting death of Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan at the couple’s home in Mustang, said Jessica Brown, a spokeswoman with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

She was arrested about 12:20 p.m. Friday at a south Oklahoma City hotel.

Formal charges have not been filed.

“At this point, we believe we have the person who killed Keith Bryan,” Brown said.
