Fundraiser to Honor Hayden Jay Ryel with Scholarship at Two-Day Truck Show

A special two-day event is set to roll into Enid this weekend in memory of Hayden Jay Ryel. The HJR Showdown, a car and truck show, will be held Friday and Saturday, August 8–9, at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center, 111 W Purdue, Enid. The show will run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. both days, bringing together the truck community, family, and friends to celebrate Hayden’s life and raise funds for a scholarship in his name.

Hayden, a 2022 graduate of Hennessey High School, worked at Thurmond and proudly served as a volunteer firefighter in Dover. Known for his big heart and passion for helping others, Hayden was also an avid outdoorsman who loved goose hunting, mud bogging with family, and bringing joy to those around him.

A familiar face at truck shows and on TikTok, Hayden was determined to make a name for himself by customizing his pickup and sharing his journey online. His goal of becoming “TikTok famous” was just one example of his determined spirit and love for life.

Hayden passed away on October 16, 2024, in Marshall, Illinois, at the age of 20. Born in Enid on July 1, 2004, his memory continues to inspire those who knew him.

The HJR Showdown is being organized by Shyla Miller, Hayden’s girlfriend, with support from family, friends, and the broader truck enthusiast community. Proceeds from the event will go toward establishing a scholarship in Hayden’s honor, ensuring that his legacy of kindness, hard work, and community service lives on.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 29, 2025

Homicide Investigation – Arrest Made
(STILLWATER, OK) – At approximately 1:14 a.m. on Monday, July 28, 2025, Stillwater Police Department officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 200 block of W. Elm Avenue. Upon arrival, officers located three victims.

Two adults, identified as Vanessa Henry, 38, and Andrew Rice, 35, both of Stillwater, were pronounced deceased at the scene. A third victim, Carman Murphy, 34, also of Stillwater, sustained at least one gunshot wound and was transported to the hospital and listed in stable condition.

The suspect, identified as Theodore DeMarrio McCloud, 36, of Langston, fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival. He was later located by Langston University Police Department (LUPD) officers at a residence in Langston, Oklahoma. Upon arrival, McCloud exited a vehicle and fired multiple rounds at LUPD officers. One LUPD officer returned fire in response to the immediate threat. Multiple agencies responded to the scene, and McCloud was ultimately taken into custody without further incident.

Questions regarding the arrest in Langston should be referred to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

This case remains under active investigation. Charges will be presented to the Payne County District Attorney’s Office for review.

We would like to thank the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation - Authorized Page, Logan County Sheriff's Office and the Langston University Police Department for their assistance in this case.
