A jury convicted a central Indiana man of three counts of murder Tuesday in the 2021 execution-style slayings of three people that authorities said resulted from an ongoing feud between one of the victims and a friend of the defendant.
Chad Grimball, 42, of Thorntown, also was found guilty of firearm offenses in the slayings of Larry Stogsdill Jr., 42; Stogsdill’s 20-year-old son, Brannon Martin; and Martin’s 19-year-old girlfriend, Grace Bishop, all of Lebanon.
Officers found their bodies on Sept. 8, 2021, at a Lebanon apartment after receiving a report that three people may be dead. All three had been shot in the head.
The slayings occurred amid a feud between one of the victims and a friend of Grimball’s, a probable cause affidavit said.
“Our hearts are with the families of Grace, Brannon, and Larry,” Deputy Boone County Prosecutor T.K. Morris said. “… We hope this verdict can help the families and our community heal.”
Grimball acted as his own attorney during the trial.
Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 26.
Grimball is currently serving a sentence for an unrelated crime committed before the slayings.
