I cut my teeth in journalism when I began looking into what I saw as abuses of power in my local government. From then on, I was hooked on the dopamine rush of uncovering information.

EDMOND, OK — Two suspects charged in connection with the Arcadia Lake mass shooting entered not-guilty pleas Wednesday as prosecutors continue pursuing a case tied to a May 3 attack that killed 18-year-old Avianna Smith-Gray and injured 22 other people.
According to court documents and reporting by KFOR, Breonn Morton and Marcus Kane Jones each pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the shooting. Search results and follow-up local reporting identify both men as facing accessory-to-first-degree-murder allegations in the case.
The shooting broke out during a large party at Scissortail Campground at Arcadia Lake after what police previously described as an argument that escalated into gunfire. Earlier reporting on the investigation said more than 80 rounds were fired and that several of the wounded were bystanders, including juveniles.
Authorities have already filed first-degree murder charges against Jaylan Davis, 18, and Daviion Wyckoff, 21, while other suspects have also been booked as the case expanded. Reporting from KOKH said detectives have tied at least six arrests to the shooting so far, including Jones, and investigators have said additional suspects could still be involved.
The broader case has drawn intense attention in Oklahoma after police said the crowded lake gathering turned into a mass shooting that left one person dead and victims ranging from teens to adults wounded by bullets or shrapnel. Earlier reporting from The Associated Press identified Smith-Gray as the teenager who died after the gunfire erupted.
No trial date was included in the reporting reviewed Thursday, and investigators have continued signaling that the Arcadia Lake case is still active.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
