TULSA, Okla. — A Tulsa County jury found a man guilty of second-degree murder for a drunk driving crash that killed a 23-year-old college Oral Roberts University student.
2 News previously reported the crash happened overnight on Sept. 29, 2022. Officers said Eugene Quaynor was stopped at a traffic light when another driver rear-ended them with their van.
According to police, the van was traveling at a "very high speed" which caused the victim's car to run into a retaining wall at the intersection and burst into flames on impact.
After the crash, ORU's soccer team's X account paid tribute to the team's captain.
We mourn the loss of @ORUMSoccer student-athlete, Eugene Quaynor. Eugene was the epitome of the mission we strive for. He was a captain and had a spirit-empowered heart ready to impact the world for Jesus. His infectious smile will be missed, but we will never forget #27. pic.twitter.com/peL9daBkoB
