Oklahoma City Police have made an arrest in the New Year's Day shooting that left a Fort Hays State University student-athlete dead.
J'Coal Glover, 30, was taken into custody Jan. 7 after a review of security camera footage at the scene of the shooting, which left Daniel Howard, 20, fatally injured and five others with gunshot wounds.
The shooting occurred after a fight that had broken out inside the Sunset Patio Lounge spilled into the parking lot outside.
According to the probable cause affidavit, security footage showed Glover leaving the scene, retrieving an item from a vehicle and returning. A second suspect, using Glover as concealment, was then seen firing multiple rounds at the victims. Records indicate Glover did not fire the weapon.
Glover and the second unidentified suspect then fled the scene, according to records.
Glover was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and denied bail, according to the Oklahoma County Detention Center admissions document.
Howard played two years at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M before transferring to FHSU in the spring of 2022. Howard, a defensive back, played in all 11 games last season.
