Oklahoma Arrest: Suspect in California Thanksgiving Uber Driver Shooting Caught in Tulsa, Awaiting Extradition to Fresno County
TULSA, OKLAHOMA — A man accused of shooting an Uber driver in Southwest Fresno, California on Thanksgiving has been arrested in Tulsa, according to details shared by the Fresno Police Department. The update states the arrest happened January 27, ending a months-long effort to locate the suspect following the November 2025 shooting.
What Police Say Happened in the Fresno Uber Driver Shooting
Investigators identified Maurice Session as the suspect in the shooting, according to the information provided in the post. The incident is described as a Thanksgiving-time shooting that took place in Southwest Fresno, with the victim identified only as an Uber driver.
The post does not include the driver’s condition, the exact location in Fresno, or details about what led up to the shooting. It also does not list a motive or specific charges in the image text. What it does make clear is that detectives believe Session was responsible and continued working the case after the incident.
How Authorities Tracked Him to Tulsa, Oklahoma
According to the post, Fresno detectives coordinated with the U.S. Marshals Service to locate and arrest Session in Tulsa. Multi-agency coordination like this is often used when investigators believe a suspect has left the original jurisdiction or may be moving between states.
In this case, the effort led to Session being taken into custody in Oklahoma rather than California.
Where the Case Stands Now
The post states Session was booked into the Tulsa County Jail, where he is now awaiting extradition to Fresno County. Extradition is the legal process used to return a suspect from one state to another to face court proceedings.
The post does not provide a timeline for when the transfer will happen, and it does not include any upcoming court dates.
Why This Arrest Matters Across State Lines
This case highlights how violent crime investigations can quickly cross state borders — especially when a suspect is believed to have traveled far from the scene. With an arrest now made in Oklahoma, Fresno County authorities appear positioned to bring the suspect back to California for the next steps in the criminal process.
