Explosion at Oklahoma Extract Shop Kills Two | Oklahoma City News

A deadly explosion at a marijuana extraction facility in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, killed two men and shattered the dreams of a would-be buyer. Ryan Bassham, 35, now faces two counts of first-degree murder after turning himself in—reportedly unaware that he lacked legal licenses to operate. One victim had warned medics about dangerous CO2 levels; another had previously flagged ventilation issues. Bassham was allegedly in the process of acquiring the business, which had operated legally before his involvement. A memorial for Stephen Scott, known for his warmth and humor, is set for September 4th, while arrangements for Michael Newman remain pending.
