Two Teens Arrested for Wynnewood Marijuana Grow Double Homicide

Two teenagers from Wynnewood, Oklahoma, an 18-year-old and a 16-year-old, have been arrested in connection with the April 18 double homicide at a marijuana grow property in rural Garvin County. The victims, Bao Ming Ma, 56, and Alejandro Baltazar Hernandez, 42, were found shot to death inside a home on the property, which authorities believe was an illegal grow operation. Evidence suggests the suspects attempted a robbery, seeking marijuana and money, but the grow was not yet ready for product, and the victims were likely taken by surprise and killed in cold blood. The investigation remains ongoing, with the 18-year-old charged with first-degree murder and the younger suspect held in juvenile detention. This crime has heightened fears among local residents, who are increasingly concerned about safety and links to broader issues with marijuana grows and related criminal activities in the area. Authorities continue to work with multiple agencies to investigate the motives and connections behind the shootings.
