A graduation pool party in a Midwest City neighborhood turned deadly on the night of May 23, 2025. About 100 people were attending the open-invitation celebration when gunfire erupted around 10:20 p.m. Officers who arrived at the 3300 block of N. Oak Grove Drive found 21-year-old Ethan Buycks in a front yard with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. He was taken to OU Medical Center and later pronounced dead.

Midwest City police canvassed the area and spoke with residents and partygoers as detectives worked to reconstruct the events that led to the shooting. Authorities and the family have appealed for anyone who was at the party or has information to come forward.

Did anyone attend that party or have information about who was near the front yard around 10:20 p.m.?
