UPDATE: OSBI investigate triple homicide in Chickasha
UPDATE @ 10:00 P.M.
Chickasha Police responded to a shooting near South 6th Street and Washington Avenue around 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
“When they made entry inside, they found three deceased persons inside,” said Hunter McKee with OSBI. “It’s extremely sad.”
Two women and one man were shot and killed.
Agents with OSBI were called in by local law enforcement to help with the investigation.
“We are looking for a person of interest, and that is 22 year old Jacob Mayhugh,” said McKee.
According to the Grady County Sheriff’s Office Mayhugh was seen driving a 2000 GMC Yukon SUV to his parents house. However he never showed up and hasn’t been seen since Friday afternoon around 4:30 p.m.
“We are working to do everything we can with all of the agencies involved in this to locate that person,” said McKee.
Crime Scene investigators looked at two homes, one was where the bodies were found and another was a house next door. It is still unclear how those two houses might be connected.
McKee said a triple murder is very rare in a town like this.
“This doesn’t happen here very often, so our thoughts and prayers are with the victims,” said McKee.
Amanda Shaw has lived in the area for 20 years and she said her neighborhood is very tight.
“I know all my neighbors, close knit. This is not a troubled neighborhood,” said Shaw. “I’m devastated for the family.”
Shaw along with her neighbor Shunn Garett said they are stunned to hear what happened.
“It’s sad, it’s really sad,” said Garrett.
Neighbors said it’s unnerving to know that three people from their close knit community are gone.
“I hope they catch whoever it is,” added Garrett.
The OSBI did not call Mayhugh a suspect, nor did they refer to him as a missing person.
It is still unclear if or how Mayhugh is related to the three people killed.
News 4 is working to identify the victims. Anyone with information is asked to contact OSBI.
UPDATE @ 5:00 P.M.
OSBI has confirmed that three people are dead after a triple homicide.
Authorities are now working to locate 22-year-old Jacob Mayhugh who is a person-of-interest in the case, according to OSBI.
If anyone has any information or know of his whereabouts, you are asked to call OSBI at 1-800-522-8017 or contact them by tips@osbi.ok.gov
