A 20-year-old woman is facing second-degree murder charges after police say she drove her car into Mayrah Torres and Isaac Lujan-Ochoa during a Halloween party in southeast Oklahoma City; Lujan-Ochoa had been fatally shot, while Torres was run over, and their bodies were trapped underneath the vehicle. Kyla Hysell is being held on a $5 million bond, accused in a chaotic early-morning scene that left two people dead and a third wounded.
According to News 9, Hysell is charged with second-degree murder and aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol. Police were called to a mobile home community on Nov. 1 after initial reports of a shooting, and officers arrived to find two people dead underneath Hysell's car. Authorities identified the victims as 25-year-old Mayrah Torres and 24-year-old Isaac Lujan-Ochoa.
Police said a third victim was found nearby with numerous gunshot wounds. Per the Oklahoma City Police Department's account relayed by News 9, Lujan-Ochoa and an unidentified victim began shooting at each other, and Lujan-Ochoa was fatally struck by gunfire during that exchange. Investigators say Hysell then drove into Torres and Lujan-Ochoa's bodies, trapping the pair underneath her vehicle.
Shooting Erupted in a Parking Lot Fight
OKC Fox reported that the shooting happened in the 5700 block of Hicks Lane at around 1:14 a.m. on Nov. 1, after investigators believe a fight broke out between four people in a complex parking lot, with two men exchanging gunfire. A separate account carried by Yahoo and attributed to The Oklahoman reported that investigators estimated Hysell's car was traveling 32 mph in a neighborhood with a 10 mph speed limit.
The injured man was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he remained as of Monday morning, according to the Free Press. The outlet reported that Hysell was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on complaints of aggravated DUI and felony murder. Free Press also noted that Torres and Lujan-Ochoa's deaths marked Oklahoma City's 49th and 50th homicides of 2026.
Admissions to Investigators
Hysell told investigators she had been drinking alcohol before and during the party, and she also admitted to consuming cocaine and marijuana, the station's report states. She also faces an aggravated DUI charge.
KFOR reported that police said the Oklahoma County District Attorney will review the case and make the final decision on whether to bring charges against the surviving gunman involved in the shootout. No charges against that individual have been announced in connection with the exchange of gunfire that killed Lujan-Ochoa.
Family Searches for Answers
Torres's parents told News 9 in a separate report that they believe their daughter may have run toward her boyfriend after he was shot, only to be struck by the vehicle moments later. Their account reflects their own understanding of what happened to Torres rather than a determination by investigators.
Under Version 1 of Oklahoma's aggravated DUI statute, 47 O.S. § 11-902, as amended by 2026 Senate Bill 1627 and effective April 13, 2026, it is unlawful to drive with a blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher, or with any detectable amount of a Schedule I substance or its metabolites in a bodily fluid, according to the Oklahoma State Courts Network. That statute forms part of the legal framework behind the charge Hysell now faces alongside second-degree murder.
