Nicholas Grabbe was 19 when he was found dead from gunshot wounds at a Yuma residence on September 3, 2018. Deputies responding to a report of a deceased person located three adult males inside the 2700 block of West 5th Street; the other victims were identified as 20-year-old Grady Baxter and 24-year-old Javier Sanchez. Investigators said the killings did not appear to be random and that the victims may have been targeted.

The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Bureau worked with the Yuma Police Department Crime Scene Unit. The investigation produced a person of interest, 19-year-old Jimmie Jordan, who was described as 5 feet 11 inches, 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and considered armed and dangerous. A search warrant was executed on September 12, 2018, and Jordan surrendered to investigators on September 14. He was initially booked on multiple felony drug charges; the homicide probe remained active and later linked Jimmie Roy Jordan to the triple murder.

Did anyone in Yuma know the victims or have information about that September 3 scene?
