According to police Oklahoma’s labor commissioner died after he was stabbed multiple times at an Oklahoma City restaurant, and his adult son has been arrested on a first-degree murder complaint in the slaying. Oklahoma City Police Department Capt. Paco Balderrama said on Sunday Officers were called around 6:30 p.m. to a Braum’s ice cream and fast-food restaurant after a stabbing was reported.
