Former deputy pleads guilty to shooting, killing wife

EL RENO, Okla. ( KFOR ) — Former Cleveland County Deputy, Vaughn Cannon, was back in the courtroom on Tuesday. This time, he pled guilty to the murder of his wife, Jordan Pyle.

Both Cannon and Pyle worked at the Cleveland County Sheriffs Office .

Court records show they were married in 2019, later filed for divorce in 2021, then later dismissed by the judge in 2022 due to both not showing up to court.

The newest developments come months after he pled not guilty earlier this year.

Last August, investigators said leading up to the gunfire, the two were arguing when Cannon pulled a gun, shooting and killing Pyle.

When officers got there, they found Pyle unresponsive and her 17-year-old son told police he heard multiple gunshots.

On Tuesday, the judge asked if Cannon did unlawfully shoot and kill his wife.

Cannon responded, “yes, judge.”

Family left the courtroom in tears as Cannon admitted to the crime.

Cannon’s sentencing is set for December 10.
