A jury in Clarinda has returned a verdict of guilty, in the first-degree murder trial of 34-year old Toby Lee McCunn, of Red Oak. McCunn killed 33-year old Joshua Lyle Jordan April 22nd, in Shenandoah. According to reports, the jurors deliberated for about  2 1/2 hours Thursday, before announcing their verdict.

Over the three day trial, prosecutors called 15 witnesses to the stand. DCI Special Agent Phillip Kennedy testified that McCunn was obsessed over finding Jordan in the weeks leading up to the incident to recover some stolen property. The two men had previous encounters prior to the fatal shooting.

After the verdict was handed-down, McCunn was transported to the Page County Jail, where he was being held without bond. He faces a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole when McCunn is sentenced September 17th.
