A US soldier has turned himself into police over the shooting murders of four people including a pregnant prostitute who gained fame on a reality TV show.

David Allen Tyner, a 28-year-old former Marine and champion wrestler, came forward after being named a suspect in the killings at a house in Oklahoma City on November 9.

Police allege Tyner and an accomplice murdered four people before leaving their bodies in the house and setting it ablaze.

Two of the victims, 22-year-old women Brooke Phillips and Milagrous Barrerra, were pregnant when they were killed.

The other two victims have not been named.

A spokesman for the Oklahoma City Sheriff's Department said Tyner was yet to be charged and investigations were continuing.

"We don't believe he acted alone," Knight was quoted by Fox News as saying.

"We've identified the one suspect [Tyner], but that doesn't yet tell us what his motive is for doing this."

Phillips recently featured on US reality show "Cathouse", which charts a group of prostitutes working at the Moonlite BunnyRanch brothel in Carson City, Nevada.

Police have not revealed how they believe Phillips or the other victims came to be at the house.

Tyner was twice named Oklahoma state wrestling champion while he was at high school and later studied at the University of Tennessee-Chatanooga.

He then joined the US Marine Corps before building a successful career as a cage fighter.
