OKEMAH, Okla. —

Two teenagers have been arrested on first-degree murder complaints after a man was found dead in the eastern Oklahoma town of Okemah.

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown says 18-year-old Tony Gibson of Okemah and his 16-year-old brother were arrested Wednesday after the body of 24-year-old Victor Berryhill was found outside the Creek Nation Housing Complex.

The name of Gibson's younger brother is being withheld by OSBI until he is formally charged.

Brown says it appears Berryhill was beaten and stabbed to death, but the medical examiner will determine his cause of death.

Berryhill's body was found around 5 a.m. Wednesday in a parking lot.
