In the early hours of April 22, 2019, 33-year-old Joshua Jordan was shot and killed inside a home at 901 Manti Street in Shenandoah, Iowa. Police were called around 4:00 a.m.; officers arriving found Jordan deceased. An autopsy later determined he died from two gunshot wounds, one through his lung and heart and another entering his back.

Witnesses at the scene identified 34-year-old Toby Lee McCunn of Red Oak as the gunman. Investigators say McCunn had become obsessed with finding Jordan, believing Jordan had stolen property, had compiled a suspect list, and had at least two prior confrontations with him. Prosecutors say McCunn tracked Jordan, lured him to the Manti Street residence and ambushed him. McCunn was located hours later at another Shenandoah residence and taken into custody; he had a gunshot wound to his leg and was treated at a hospital before booking.

At trial the prosecution argued the killing was premeditated; an eyewitness testified McCunn fired the first of five shots. The defense claimed self-defense, saying Jordan drew a weapon first and dropped it, which McCunn then picked up. The jury rejected justification and convicted Toby McCunn of first-degree murder.

Did anyone in Shenandoah know Jordan or have information about the disputes between him and McCunn?
