Jacob Mayhugh was located and arrested Tuesday afternoon in Oklahoma City, according to OSBI.

An affidavit stated Chickasha Police received a 911 call just before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 11, regarding shell casings on the front porch of a home near South 6th Street and West Washington Avenue.

The caller said people were possibly dead inside.

When police entered the home, they found an AR-15 rifle lying in front of the entryway, according to the affidavit.

The serial number on the rifle matched the one that was purchased by Mayhugh on April 25.

The affidavit identified the three victims found inside the home as Patty Mayhugh, James Mayhugh, and Shayla Mayhugh.

According to the affidavit, Shayla lived with her brother, Jacob, in another home nearby.

A search warrant was served at the house that the two lived in, but no one was home.

According to the affidavit, on May 10, the day before the shooting, Jacob had told his girlfriend that he was going to eat pizza at his parents’ house.

Police discovered Jacob purchased two other firearms, which were both found inside the house where the victims were killed.

4 Arrested In Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley Murders

Police in Oklahoma have arrested four people in the disappearance and murder of Veronica Butler and Jilian Killey who vanished on March 30 2024

According to police reports Tifany Adams, 54, Tad Cullum, 43, Cole Twombly, 50, and Cora Twombly, 44, have all been arrested and have been charged with kidnapping and murder

Veronica Butler and Jilian Killey were traveling to pick up Butler’s two children when the women disappeared. Butler had been going through a custody battle with her ex husband.

Tifany Adams is the Grandmother of the two children and Tad Callum is her boyfriend. Cole Twombly and Cora Twombly are friends of Adams.

Authorities in Oklahoma booked four people on suspicion of kidnapping and murder in connection with the March disappearance of two women who are still missing.

The four, arrested and booked Saturday, were identified as Tad Bert Cullum, 43; Tifany Machel Adams, 54; Cole Earl Twombly, 50; and Cora Twombly, 44.

They were booked into the Texas County Jail in Oklahoma on suspicion of first-degree murder, kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said in a statement on Saturday.

State court records did not appear to show charges had been filed, and the suspects’ names were not yet listed among active inmates. It wasn’t clear if the suspects had legal representation.

Authorities weren’t saying what may be behind the the disappearance, only that the four were arrested in Texas and Cimarron counties in the westernmost section of the Oklahoma panhandle.

“The OSBI and local law enforcement are still currently working to locate the two victims,” the bureau of investigation said.

Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were the subjects of an “endangered missing advisory” issued by Texas County authorities on March 30 after a vehicle they were traveling in was found abandoned in a rural part of Texas County south of Elkhart, Kansas, the bureau said.

“OSBI special agents immediately began investigating the vehicle and determined there was evidence to indicate foul play,” it said in Saturday’s statement.

Bureau spokesperson Hunter McKee said previously that Texas County Sheriff’s Office deputies first came upon the vehicle. They approached the vehicle, but “these women are gone and they’re nowhere to be seen,” he said.

The investigation was challenged by just how remote the area was, he said, with few if any homes and businesses where authorities might typically find security cameras.

Investigators didn’t reveal exactly what evidence suggested the possibility that a crime had taken place.

The two were en route to pick up children, though it wasn’t clear if the children belonged to one, both or neither of the women. Bureau spokesperson Hunter McKee said investigators believe the two are friends.

Butler’s stepmother, Guadalupe Torres, said in an interview that Butler was in the midst of a heated custody dispute. Court records show she is a party to a custody claim that was first filed in 2021.

Though the bookings connected to the investigation included allegations of murder, authorities have so far stopped short of saying they’re searching for bodies.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the women is asked to contact the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at [email protected] or 1-800-522-8017.

Noah Ney Sentenced To 50 Years

Noah Ney is a pint sized criminal from Oklahoma who was convicted of a series of charges that saw a five year old girl shot in the neck

According to court documents Noah Ney was wanting to join a local street gang in Tulsa Oklahoma and was driving around in a stolen SUV when he would fire from the stolen vehicle striking a five year old girl in the neck. Thankfully the little girl would survive

Noah Ney who has previous convictions of gun possession and robbery was tried as an adult and he just found out he will spend the next fifty years in prison. If Noah can behave himself over the next five years the judge may lessen his sentence

Noah Ney News

A Tulsa County judge sentenced a 16-year-old boy to more than 50 years in prison for shooting a 5-year-old girl during a drive-by shooting, having guns, drugs and stealing cars.

Noah Ney was charged as an adult with the 2022 shooting, but just last month while in custody, prosecutors say he escaped from the juvenile justice center by jumping the rec yard fence. He was captured days later.

Prosecutors say Ney shot the little girl during a drive-by shooting that was part of a gang initiation. Prosecutors say Ney is dangerous, and Tulsa is safer with him going to prison. A woman who testified to defend Ney said in court that Ney is dangerous.

Prosecutors say the 5-year-old girl was playing outside in April of 2022 when Ney drove by in a stolen car and fired shots, hitting the little girl in the neck.

Prosecutors spent very little time talking about that shooting during the sentencing hearing and instead highlighted the several interactions Ney has had with law enforcement in the last few years, including robberies, gun charges, and drugs.

Prosecutors say Noah Ney has a box full of incident reports from his time in the juvenile justice center, where he’s accused of flooding his cell and assaulting staff members, throwing cups of water in jail staff members’ faces, smearing feces on the walls of his cell and more. Prosecutors showed social media pictures and videos of Ney holding guns and flashing gang signs.

Ney’s attorney argued Ney’s behavior is a result of his parents and argued Ney hasn’t been given all the treatment options available. Ney’s father has been in and out of prison, and Ney’s mom testified that she blames herself for her son’s behavior. Ney’s aunt testified Ney had been neglected his whole life but says she saw some progress when he lived with her and her husband for a year. She said if Ney was allowed to stay with her, she doesn’t think he’d be in trouble like he is.

“He had several opportunities. I have treatment records in a packet that is thicker than a dictionary that show treatment attempts that he rejected, by escaping or assaulting staff that was there to help him get treatment,” said Assistant Tulsa County District Attorney Morgan Medders.

The judge told Ney there will be a judicial review of his sentence in five years and if he proves to the judge that he’s changed and can be a productive member of society, she could reduce his sentence.

Jemaine Cannon Executed In Oklahoma

Jemaine Cannon was executed by the State of Oklahoma on July 20 2023 for the murder of Sharonda White Clark on on February 3, 1995

According to court documents Jemaine Cannon would escape from custody and would head to the home of his girlfriend. An argument would break out and Jemaine would stab the woman multiple times causing her death

Jemaine Cannon would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death

On July 20 2023 Jemaine Cannon was put to death by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester

Jemaine Cannon More News

Oklahoma executed a man Thursday for stabbing a Tulsa woman to death with a butcher knife in 1995 after his escape from a prison work center.

Jemaine Cannon, 51, received a lethal injection at 10:01 a.m. and was pronounced dead 12 minutes later at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. It was the second execution in Oklahoma this year and the ninth since the state resumed lethal injections in 2021.

Cannon was convicted of killing 20-year-old Sharonda Clark, a mother of two with whom Cannon had been living at an apartment in Tulsa after his escape weeks earlier from a prison work center in southwest Oklahoma. Cannon had been serving a 15-year sentence for the violent assault of another woman who suffered permanent injuries after prosecutors say Cannon raped her and beat her viciously with a claw hammer, iron and kitchen toaster.

A federal appeals court late Wednesday denied Cannon’s last-minute appeal seeking a stay of execution in which Cannon claimed, among other things, that he was Native American and not subject to Oklahoma jurisdiction. Asked if he had any last words, Cannon said: “Yes, I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Therefore I am saved. Thank you.”

Cannon was executed on the same day that Alabama planned to execute James Barber for the 2001 beating death of a woman. It would be Alabama’s first lethal injection after a pause in executions following a string of problems with inserting the IVs.

Clark’s eldest daughter, Yeh-Sehn White, and Clark’s sister, Shaya Duncan, witnessed Cannon’s execution and described it as peaceful.

“In my opinion, he died in a very favorable way,” White said. “Unfortunately my mom did not have that opportunity.”

Cannon claimed at a clemency hearing before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board last month that he killed Clark in self-defense.

“I am deeply disheartened that the act of defending my life and the acts that she initiated against me ever happened,” Cannon told the board via a video feed from the state penitentiary.

Cannon’s attorney, Mark Henricksen, also told the panel that Cannon’s trial and appellate attorneys were ineffective for not presenting evidence to support that claim. His trial attorneys presented no witnesses or exhibits and rested after prosecutors presented their case, Henricksen said.

In a statement sent to The Associated Press this week, Henricksen said the state’s decision to proceed with Cannon’s execution amounted to “historic barbarism.”

“Mr. Cannon has endured abuse and neglect for fifty years by those charged with his care,” Henricksen said. “He sits in his cell a model prisoner. He is nearly deaf, blind, and nearing death by natural causes. The decision to proceed with this particular execution is obscene.”

But White and prosecutors from the attorney general’s office urged the state to execute Cannon, and the board rejected clemency on a 3-2 vote..

Oklahoma uses a three-drug lethal injection protocol beginning with the sedative midazolam, followed by the paralytic vecuronium bromide and finally potassium chloride, which stops the heart. The state had one of the nation’s busiest death chambers until problems in 2014 and 2015 led to a de facto moratorium.

Richard Glossip was just hours from being executed in September 2015 when prison officials realized they received the wrong lethal drug. It was later learned that the same wrong drug had been used to execute an inmate in January 2015.

Camille Lewis and John Miles More News

Officials in Tulsa say a horrific case of child abuse led to a homicide investigation.

On Jan. 27, officers with the Tulsa Police Department were called to a home after receiving a call from a woman who said a child had been missing for several years and was possibly dead.

The woman said that Camille Lewis left her 13-year-old daughter to live with her in September. When the child arrived at the woman’s home, she said she was extremely thin and malnourished

At the time, she said that Lewis claimed her 11-year-old son was dead.

Tulsa detectives interviewed the 13-year-old girl, who spoke about horrific abuse that lasted for more than a year.

The girl claimed that her mother and her stepfather, John Miles, would lock her and her brother in separate closets for days at a time, not feed them, and beat them.

Police claim that the girl said Miles would offer her food in exchange for sexual favors.

In March of 2021, she said she heard her mother crying and begging her brother to wake up. She said that Lewis told her that her brother had a seizure and died.

Initially, she said she thought her brother was buried in a park, but said she was told that Miles dug up the body and burned it in a barrel.

On Feb. 7, investigators arrested Lewis.

Detectives say she admitted to abusing the children and causing scars all over the girl’s body. However, she said that her son was not dead. Instead, she said he ran away two years ago and has not been seen since.

The next day, Miles was taken into custody

Miles and Lewis were arrested on complaints of child abuse by injury and child neglect.

“Detectives are actively investigating this case, and at this time this is considered to be a homicide investigation. The remains of the brother have not been found. Charges could be amended depending the outcome of the investigation,” the Tulsa Police Department posted.
