Conway is being held on a $2 million bond.

After the shooting, police served a search warrant on Conway's home for drugs.

FOX23 got the affidavit on Wednesday and it said police found cocaine base, a glass pipe, fentanyl pills, a police scanner, scales and baggies.

The document said they also found a handgun in a safe inside the home, which Conway was not allowed to have as a convicted felon.

He is expected back in court on Thursday.

FOX23 also obtained a picture of the victim, 38-year-old Alexander Daugherty, from G unMemorial.org , which is a website that pays tribute to victims of gun violence.

UPDATE (7:27 p.m.) — The person of interest in a Bartlesville homicide, Thomas Conway, was arrested in Wichita, Kansas, on an active warrant for several charges unrelated to the deadly shooting.

Those charges include possession of controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm after a felony conviction, maintaining a dwelling for keeping/selling a controlled dangerous substance and unlawful use of a police scanner.

Bartlesville Police is working with Wichita Police as they continue to investigate the deadly shooting.

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Bartlesville Police say a 38-year-old man is dead after a shooting Monday morning.

Neighbors told FOX23 they saw someone run out of a duplex near West Hensley Boulevard and South Morton Avenue toward the alley, then collapse. Alexander Daugherty was found with a gunshot wound when police arrived.

Police got a call of a gunshot heard in the area at 12:50 a.m.

Officers started life-saving measures before medics arrived and Daugherty was transported to the hospital where he died, police say.

“This appears to be some kind of conflict over drugs, and or money, at this time so we’re still trying to filter through all that,” said Bartlesville Deputy Police Chief Andrew Ward.

Ward said the incident was isolated. Investigators found one shell casing at the scene.

“There are several witnesses that we're still trying to identify. There are several people and persons of interest. I guess you could say we need to get ahold of,” Ward said.

People inside a nearby business told FOX23 they gave surveillance video to police hoping it leads to an arrest.

“It is very rare for the city of Bartlesville to have something like this,” said Ward.

Police say through the investigation, Thomas Conway is a person of interest.
