A 25-year-old Eldon man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred last week, according to the Wapello County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to a 911 call last Wednesday reporting a man who had been shot at a residence at 310 Des Moines Street in Eldon. When deputies arrived, they found a deceased male, later identified as 77-year-old Gary Keith Stevens.
Following an investigation, deputies arrested Jordan Wade Duncan, 25, late Friday evening. He is charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm or offensive weapon by a person subject to a protective order.
Duncan is being held in the Wapello County Jail without bond. The investigation was assisted by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, the Office of the State Medical Examiner, and the Wapello County Attorney’s Office.
As a reminder, a criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
