On the evening of July 31, 2022, 17-year-old Terek Chairs was driving a Kia Soul eastbound on the Broken Arrow Expressway when another vehicle pulled alongside and a hail of bullets erupted. Chairs was fatally wounded during the exchange; a passenger in his car was struck multiple times but survived. The Kia, without a driver, then crashed into the center median. Emergency responders found Chairs deceased at the scene. Investigators determined the Kia Soul Chairs had been driving was stolen.
