A fatal shooting in rural Bokchito, Oklahoma, on May 3, 2025, left 34-year-old Michael Jay Bragg dead. Deputies from the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office found Bragg at a property on State Highway 70 with a gunshot wound after responding to a reported shooting.

Investigators say the case quickly centered on Bragg’s father, 53-year-old Michael David Bragg. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reports the shooting followed a dispute between father and son; Michael David Bragg was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction. According to a Bryan County deputy, Michael Jay Bragg’s young son, who had been living in the trailer with them for a couple of months, told officers he witnessed his grandfather shoot his father during an argument.

No further details about the argument have been released as the investigation continues. Does anyone have information about the family or the property on State Highway 70 that could help investigators?
