In addition to his duties at KFOR-TV, he also served as host of Sports Morning on sports radio station WWLS (640 AM, now ESPN Radio affiliate KWPN; and 104.9 FM, now at 98.1) since 1993, co-hosting the drive time talk show with former Oklahoma State University football coach Pat Jones.

[2][3] Barry died on June 20, 2015, from head trauma received when his motor scooter collided with the driver's side door of a car that unexpectedly attempted to perform an illegal U-turn northbound around 4:00 p.m. that afternoon from the right lane near 142nd Street and May Avenue in northwest Oklahoma City by crossing both southbound lanes.

Gutierrez was placed on an immigration hold at the Oklahoma County Jail until his legal status in the United States was determined, prohibiting him from being released even if he is able to post a set $18,500 bond.

[14] A public memorial service for Barry was held on June 26, 2015, at Crossings Community Church in Oklahoma City.

[16] Gutierrez's involvement in Barry's death was the subject of an advertisement for the campaign of Gary Richardson, a Tulsa-based attorney running for the Republican nomination to replace the term-limited Governor Mary Fallin in the 2018 Oklahoma Gubernatorial election, in an effort to promote his anti-illegal immigration stance.

[... W]e find it very troubling that Mr. Richardson ran an advertisement that could imply that the Barry family endorses in any way his election as Governor of the State of Oklahoma.

In sum, the Barry family does not appreciate the liberties taken by Mr. Richardson and his campaign; and condemn the utter lack of respect shown towards our tragic loss.”[17][18]
