Alabama man faces a 3rd murder charge in Oklahoma

A third Oklahoma murder charge has been filed against an Alabama man who was arrested in Arkansas, according to a prosecutor.

Stacy Lee Drake, 50, was charged Wednesday with murder in the June 14 shooting death of Phillip Emerson at his home in El Reno, Sequoyah County District Attorney Jack Thorp said in a statement.

Drake, whose first name is spelled Stacey in some court documents, was previously charged with murder in the June 18 shooting deaths of Tara Huber Underwood and Taylor Sharp at a business in Gans.

“This man’s senseless and violent actions have affected people across this state,” Thorp said. “Those victims and their families deserve justice.”

An attorney for Drake declined comment Thursday.

Drake faces additional charges of robbery, possession of a stolen vehicle and committing a pattern of criminal offenses, which allows Sequoyah County prosecutors to charge him for the slaying in El Reno in Canadian County.
