OKLAHOMA CITY —
Authorities have been hunting for more than 24 hours for an Oklahoma man they say posted live videos to social media while running from police during a violent rampage that included shooting two police officers, armed car thefts and killing his aunt and uncle, apparently attempting to cut off their heads.
Michael Dale Vance Jr., a 38-year-old man from Chandler, Oklahoma, is wanted on multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder. Police say he was last seen early Monday about 30 miles from the Texas border in western Oklahoma — 165 miles away from where the manhunt began Sunday night in Wellston.
The two police officers were shot and wounded as they responded to shots fired Sunday evening in Wellston, about 35 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said one person was arrested, but Vance fled in a patrol vehicle. The officers’ injuries weren’t life-threatening, and both are expected to recover, said Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown.
Vance is suspected of later shooting a woman and stealing her vehicle at a mobile home park near Wellston, then driving about 8 miles to the mobile home of his aunt and uncle in Luther and killing them, Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Opgrande said.
Ronald Everett Wilkson, 55, had been shot and had stab wounds to his neck "consistent with an attempt to sever his head," Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Belanger wrote in an arrest affidavit. Valerie Kay Wilkson, 54, had similar neck wounds along with defensive wounds on her arms, the affidavit stated.
Investigators found a large knife covered in blood inside the home, along with a blood-stained shirt and two shell casings from a round typically fired from an AK-47-style assault rifle.
Opgrande said authorities also believe Vance filmed two Facebook Live videos documenting his run from police before going to the Wilksons’ home.
In one video, a man wearing a backward baseball cap and a shirt that appears to be covered in blood says he’s about to steal another vehicle and that it’s "gonna be intense." In another, which seems to be filmed inside a second vehicle, the same man says: "Letting y’all know, look, this is real," before panning to a long gun on the passenger seat.
He said: "If you want to know what’s up next, stay tuned to your local news."
Vance also is suspected of shooting a man in the leg in an attempted carjacking early Monday at a convenience store in Sayre, about 30 miles from the Texas border. Sayre Police Chief Ronnie Harrold said the man identified Vance as the man who shot him.
The arrest warrant for Vance also includes charges of an unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and possession of a firearm after former conviction of a felony. Court records show Vance faces felony charges of child sexual abuse in Lincoln County, and has a court hearing Nov. 7.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Vance is believed to be driving a silver 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse with an Oklahoma license plate of 943LQQ. Vance is described as Native American, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 212 pounds.

Yes. Also, local reports have Vance suffering from some communicable disease, but authories will not specify the illness. Not sure why.
Sounds like a movie.
How the heck did they not track the stolen cop car?
Meth or PCP?
Brainwashing by the Democrat Party and the media?
cutting off heads sounds Muslim. Is that racist for me to say that?
“also includes charges of an unauthorized use of a motor vehicle”
I bet he ran stop signs,too.
Include me.
He wore a ‘backwards ball cap’,too.
US born black muslim?
He has AIDS. Law Enforcement has reason to believe he wants to spread it.
Still on the loose. He has some kind if contagious disease he wants ti shsre too. They haven’t said what. He is definitely a rabid dog.
He has AIDS. Law Enforcement has reason to believe he wants to spread it.
“He Got Weed!!”....
The report says that he’s Native American but but not what tribe. There’s outlaw sub-culture that crosses tribal boundaries and has been there going back to before the conquest.
Last night they said he was wounded at least twice and he referred to that in his video. So he may found help or just pulled over somewhere and succumbed?
Lol! Seriously, I wonder why mention that, especially since they won’t say what it is. Just a ruse to keep people from helping him? Or is this psycho a menance in more ways than one?
Has that info been in the media? I haven’t found a story that mentions which disease.
Islam?
If he’s still alive, I can assure you that there’s an open season on him in southwest Oklahoma and north Texas. No place is safe for him.
NYP has it.

No they won’t. He’s white.
