Okla. executes man convicted of killing 2 campers

McALESTER, Okla. — A man convicted of the 1995 shooting deaths of two campers has been put to death in Oklahoma.

Thirty-two-year-old Michael P. DeLozier was pronounced dead at 6:10 p.m. Thursday.

DeLozier was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of 60-year-old Orville Lewis Bullard and 54-year-old Paul Steven Morgan. He was the third inmate put to death in Oklahoma this year.

According to court documents, DeLozier and two other men ambushed Bullard and Morgan at their campsite in southern Oklahoma, shot them and stole their truck and camping equipment. Prosecutors also say DeLozier set fire to the camp, burning the bodies beyond recognition.
