Overview
- A large explosion at the Morrow Gill Business Park destroyed parts of multiple units, killed two men, and damaged more than 20 businesses.
- Police identified 35-year-old Ryan Bassham as a suspect; he surrendered to authorities, was charged with two counts of murder, and posted $2 million in bond.
- Investigators say the blast likely began during a solvent-based THC extraction process and federal and state teams are continuing forensic work to confirm the exact cause.
- Court records name the business as Solos Extracts LLC and say the operation did not have valid Oklahoma medical marijuana licensing or bureau registration at the time of the blast.
- Solvent-based THC extraction is known to be highly flammable when done without proper ventilation and safety controls, which could prompt tighter enforcement and regulatory review as the probe proceeds.
