Rowdy Gray was 19 when he was found dead in a motel room at the La Quinta Inn near Interstate 40 and Mustang Road in Oklahoma City. His body was discovered on May 22, 2014, after what officers described as a scene consistent with a violent struggle; Gray had sustained significant trauma and investigators believed the altercation had occurred the previous evening.

A 20-year-old man, Greyson McFarland, was in the room when police arrived and was questioned before being released as the investigation continued. Months of work by investigators followed, and on December 7, 2014, McFarland was arrested at another motel and charged with first-degree manslaughter. He was booked into the Canadian County Jail amid assertions that a dispute between the two men had escalated to deadly violence.

Anyone who was in the area of the La Quinta Inn in late May 2014 or who knew Rowdy’s movements or acquaintances around that time is asked to come forward with information.
