By Carolyn Cole/Staff Writer

Oklahoma City police are seeking information in an area hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of a Mustang-area man.
Jayme Theron Hogue, 31, was pronounced dead early Wednesday morning in the 11000 block of West Reno Avenue between Sara and Mustang roads, said Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Paco Balderrama.

He said it was reported Hogue had left an area club to walk home at about 12:30 a.m. Then Hogue called a friend on his cell phone and told him a car hit him, but he was “OK.”

“That’s when the friend and the victim’s mother started driving around and found him and called an ambulance,” Balderrama said.

When police arrived at about 1:30 a.m., he said paramedics told officers Hogue was dead. Police do not have a vehicle or driver description, Balderrama said, but asked anyone with information to call Oklahoma City’s Crime Stoppers hot line at 235-7300.
“We have very little to go off of,” he said.

Funeral services for Hogue were held at 10 a.m. today at Vondel Smith and Son Mortuary’s South Colonial Chapel in Oklahoma City.

A Mustang High School alumni, Hogue was well known in the medical community for his contribution of making the top three fastest and lightest-weight prosthetic legs used in the 2004 Special Olympics.
