On the morning of November 1, 2018, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, 18-year-old Beggs High senior and standout running back Kayson Toliver was shot and killed while sleeping in his bed. Kayson, a National Honor Society member remembered for his smile and good nature, was killed when his mother, Amy Leann Hall, entered his room and shot him in the head.

Hall then entered the bedrooms of her daughters, shooting 16-year-old Kloee Toliver and the 14-year-old. Kloee was critically injured, later declared brain-dead and died a few days afterward. The 14-year-old survived after a grazing wound to the head and neck, escaped to a bathroom and managed to de-escalate the situation enough for Hall to relinquish the pistol. An 18-year-old friend who had been sharing Kayson’s room was unharmed.

Hall fled the scene and was arrested after a high-speed chase topping 100 miles per hour. She later said she acted to protect the children from their estranged, allegedly abusive father amid a custody dispute. She was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of shooting with intent to kill. Did anyone in the Okmulgee community know Kayson or have information about the family situation leading up to that morning?
