Michael Ray Dykes

Arrested for first degree murder. Anyone know him or anything about the murder?

Yes he is my brother and more will be told today. I don't know how my own blood could have done this tragic things. He was not raised this way. There are more people involved in this horrific incident. That's all I can say.

He is a good fella. I've known him for years, he seemed always happy and was very nice to everyone. I'm curious as to how this is going to play out.

Sorry it was someone in your family. Any idea what it was over?

He murdered Orville Henry.

Yeah I cant believe he would do something like that. He went on vacation with me and my friends last year

did they ever arrest shayla cochran 4 her invovlement in this?

Dykes and his girl friend were staying with a neighbor - Dykes' girlfriend had been talking to Mr Henry. Dykes dumped Henrey's cell in the river - because it had to have connected him to Mr Henry. Henry's son said that 2 women were in the home at the time of the shooting. My guess is he shot him over his girlfriend since it was not a robbery and Mr Henry, according to family did not talk pain meds. Just a thought

3 weeks prior Shayla met Mike&he done a 180! If not 4 her livin at Marilyns&takin Mike there he would have never known Marilyn or Mr.Henry! She was probally the so called girlfriend that was there. She has destucted yet 2 more lives&will yet again walk free!

went to school with him and would never have thought he do something like this. had to be because of a female

This message is for his brother. If you talk to Mike please tell Mike that Tabitha is very worried about him. I hope that he can turn his life around and is able to atleast come out after beening in jailed and have a good life and not get into trouble and tell him I would come and visit him if I knew where to go. Tell him I miss him. Thanks

nope she still is free, she's the one who likes my dad and goes to the vfw all the time, i talked to her a little bit after the murder and she kept on saying sorry for her involvement in all of it, i don't forgive her nor will i ever forgive either one of them. it's just not right that his life was taken, he didn't do nothing wrong to deserve what happened to him, now dykes was a big man, larger then henry was, why couldn't he have pushed him around a little bit if he had a problem with him instead of killing him? That's what's been bothering me for almost a year now, it's uncalled for!!!!

I dont know how he cou;d do that to my dad. two weeks before my daughter was born. now she has to grow up with a grandfather!
