“Our family is devastated by the profound loss of Lynn, Jack, and Dalton Janway,” Jimmie wrote on Instagram.

“We have been humbled by the outpouring of love and support during this unthinkable sad time and remain grateful for all of your compassion,” Jimmie added.

Muskogee Police in Oklahoma report that Jack and Terry Janway, and nephew Dalton Janway were found dead shortly after 9 PM on June 26 after receiving a 911 call from a woman who reported someone with a gun before hanging up the phone.

Terry is reportedly considered the suspect. A motive is currently unknown and now under investigation. It’s not clear who made the 911 call.

The police reportedly found a body laying in the hallway after arriving at the scene, and heard another gunshot come from inside the home, where they found two more dead bodies. All three died from gunshot wounds.

Jimmie and Chandra got married in 2004 and have two daughters together, Genevieve and Lydia.
