In the small town of Boswell, Oklahoma, a sense of shock and sorrow befell the community in the late hours of September 9, 2019. Rachelle Jordan, a 25-year-old woman, was found deceased outside a residence in the 300 block of Fourth Street. The Choctaw County Communications Center had received a distressing 911 call reporting a shooting at the home shortly before midnight.
When officers from the Boswell Police Department arrived at the scene, they discovered Rachelle's body, the victim of an apparent gunshot wound.
At the residence, police encountered 36-year-old John Stubbs. He was initially taken into custody on charges that were unrelated to the grim discovery outside. However, as the investigation into Rachelle's death began to unfold, the focus of law enforcement quickly shifted. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was called in to assist with the homicide investigation.
The day following the tragic incident, the investigation progressed significantly. Based on the evidence gathered by the OSBI, John Stubbs was formally charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Rachelle Jordan. While an arrest was made swiftly, the motive behind the fatal shooting has not been publicly disclosed by authorities. The community was left to mourn the sudden and violent loss of a young woman's life, with many questions still unanswered. Rachelle, who was born on September 29, 1993, in Tucson, Arizona, had made Boswell her home and was a beloved individual within the community.
