Now for the latest crime and justice breaking news,

Crime Online's John Limley. We begin in central Indiana as a jury finds a man guilty of three charges of murder in connection with the execution-style killings of three individuals in 2021. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. In addition to being found guilty of the three murders, 42-year-old Chad Grimball of Thorntown, Indiana,

was also found guilty of firearms offenses. The victims in the case were 42-year-old Larry Stogsdale and his son, 20-year-old Brannon Martin, along with Grace Bishop, Martin's 19-year-old girlfriend. Authorities claim the killings were the product of a long-running dispute between one of the victims and a friend of the defendant. All three were from the city of Lebanon, Indiana. It was on September 8, 2021, that officers responded to a tip that three people may have died and discovered their bodies at a Lebanon apartment. All three of the deceased had been

shot in the head. According to a probable cause affidavit, the murders took place during a dispute between one of the victims and a friend of Grimball. Grimball represented himself during the trial. Sentencing is set for September 26th. Grimball is currently behind bars for a separate crime that he committed prior to the killings. According to Oklahoma authorities, a 15-year-old boy has been detained in connection with the shooting death of a 16-year-old at a high school football game. Oklahoma County Sheriff Tommy Johnson says that deputies working with various law enforcement organizations successfully apprehended the teen in Spencer, a suburb of Oklahoma City. The suspect's identity is being withheld because he's a minor. Although no other

suspects are being sought, according to Choctaw Police Chief Kelly Marshall, the investigation is still ongoing. Marshall says that an altercation between two males at the game preceded the shooting, although she wasn't sure of the nature of the fight. A 42-year-old man was hospitalized in intensive care with a gunshot wound to the chest, while a 15-year-old man was hospitalized in intensive care with a gunshot wound to the chest, while a 15-year-old girl was shot in the leg. Meanwhile, the sheriff's office is also looking into a shot fired during the incident by one of two off-duty police officers who were providing security for the Dell City football team during the game just east of Oklahoma City in the town of Choctaw. Now to Missouri,

where a state lawmaker has proposed allowing exceptions to the state's nearly complete ban on abortion in situations of rape, incest, and fatal defects. Once again, Crime Online's Sidney Sumner. When a fetus would be regarded as viable under the plan is not immediately clear. Jamie Corley, a resident of St. Louis, suggested the constitutional amendment allowing the exceptions. Another choice would permit abortions up until viability. However, it's unclear at what point a fetus would reach that status under the proposal. Nearly all abortions are prohibited in Missouri. Only serious medical situations will be an exception. Another group of activists has been pushing for the Missouri Constitution to include such rights as the ones included in the recent

proposal. This older endeavor has been involved in legal disputes and conflict with the Secretary of State and Attorney General. Following last year's decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and eliminate nationally the right to an abortion, Missouri is one of many states looking to the electorate for help. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, six states have had the topic on their ballots. The pro-abortion side won in each of them, including Kansas and Kentucky. Meanwhile, only a month after it began, a pro-abortion initiative petition in Oklahoma was withdrawn. Terrence Collier goes by his dad's Nebraska Senior Living Facility to visit and learns Levi Blake left the home on foot that afternoon and never came back.

The 80-year-old diagnosed with dementia and takes several other meds as well. Blake's family especially worried because of the extreme heat in Omaha. Residents tell Collier Blake was heading east when he left and told them he was taking a walk. Blake now missing over two weeks. If you have info on Levi Blake, contact Omaha PD 402-444-5600.
