One of two Garvin County teenagers charged in the April 2025 deaths of two men at a marijuana farm near Wynnewood is awaiting sentencing after entering a guilty plea in the case last week.
Nineteen-year-old Whyitt Collins and an unnamed 16-year-old male, both of Wynnewood, were arrested last May in connection to the murders of 56-year-old Bao Ming Ma and 42-year-old Alejandro Baltazar Hernandez at a marijuana farm north of Wynnewood. The men were employees of the grow facility, who were found shot to death in a residence adjacent to the farm.
Collins, whose case had been set for the April jury docket, plead guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree burglary in Garvin County District Court March 23.
The plea by Collins was a blind plea, meaning there is no plea agreement in place.
Collins is facing a sentence of life or life without parole on each murder count. The sentencing range for the burglary charge is 7 to 20 years. He will be required to serve 85% of his sentence on the murder charges under Oklahoma law.
Sentencing is set for June 29.
