Police said the teen showed signs of intoxication, and investigators are reviewing why he drove for about two hours before calling authorities.
- On September 10, 22-year-old Ranesha Scyrus was struck from behind while riding an e-scooter home from work at the OKC Outlets. The 17-year-old driver was recording a video when he struck her, according to Oklahoma City Police Department reports.
- Following the crash, investigators determined the driver was intoxicated and believed he had struck a deer. He drove for two hours before calling police, leading to his arrest on charges of manslaughter, DUI, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
- After the driver arrived at a shopping center, Ranesha Scyrus was discovered in the truck bed. A judge set the teen's bond at $100,000, while The Oklahoma County District Attorney continues reviewing the case to determine final charges.
- Tameka Scyrus, the victim's mother, is calling for the suspect to be charged as an adult. She has expressed anguish over the two hours the driver spent with her daughter in the truck bed before seeking help.
- The family established a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of more than $6,000 to cover burial costs. Tameka Scyrus noted her daughter was forced into the roadway because the sidewalk near the tracks ends abruptly.
