On September 3, 2018, 20-year-old Grady Baxter was found dead inside a residence on West 5th Street in Yuma, Arizona, alongside Nicholas Grabbe, 19, and Javier Sanchez, 24. The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office discovered the three men with apparent gunshot wounds and classified the scene a triple homicide. Authorities stated they did not believe the violence was random.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Jimmie Roy Jordan as a person of interest. A search warrant was executed and Jordan was sought as armed and dangerous; several days later he turned himself in. He was initially booked on multiple felony drug charges while the homicide probe continued. Jordan was later linked to the deaths and entered a plea to an amended count of second-degree murder, a resolution that was delayed by outsourced evidence testing and COVID-19–related lab backlogs. Prior to that resolution, Jordan was already serving a sentence for a separate murder.
