OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A former Oklahoma City attorney and her boyfriend have been charged with killing an ex-girlfriend and her parents in 2019.
Keegan Kelley Harroz and Barry Titus II were each charged Thursday with three counts of first-degree murder and a related first-degree burglary count in the shooting deaths of Tiffany Eichor and her parents, Jack and Kaye Chandler.
Harroz and Titus were suspects early in the homicide investigation because of Titus’ past relationship with Eichor, who alleged that Titus beat and strangled her while they were dating in 2017. Federal prosecutors revealed last year that DNA found on a ball cap recovered near the crime scene and a comparison of shell casings tied Harroz and Titus to the killings.
State investigators disclosed early on that they suspected Harroz and Titus were the two masked killers seen on a surveillance recording approaching the residence.
At the time, the attorney was defending Titus in a domestic abuse case involving his ex-girlfriend. Titus is accused in the still pending case of beating and strangling Eichor in 2017, a couple of months after they began dating.
In announcing the filing of the case, Okmulgee County District Attorney Carol Iski acknowledged Thursday that there have been questions from the public about what was taking so long.
She blamed the pandemic. Legitimate question, she said of the public concerns. And there were several factors. COVID being the main problem, courts being closed.
