Court Filings Reveal New Information On Man Accused In Chickasha Triple Homicide

UPDATE: Jacob Mayhugh given three consecutive life sentences without parole for 2024 murders

New court filings reveal more about what Oklahoma City police uncovered inside a vehicle belonging to a man charged in a triple murder.

Jacob Mayhugh is accused of killing his parents and sister inside their Chickasha home.

Following the killings, court filings show Jacob Mayhugh fled to Oklahoma City where he was arrested days later in Bricktown.

Flock cameras led police to his SUV.

According to filings, OKC police officers peered through the vehicle's windows ---observing "two AR15-style magazines" containing "53 live rounds of ammunition."

Oklahoma City Police arrested Jacob Mayhugh in Bricktown while sitting on a park bench.

In the days leading up to his arrest, investigators discovered his parents, James and Patty Mayhugh, and sister, Shayla Mayhugh, shot to death inside their home.

“I don’t know what was going on in his head. I can’t imagine doing that to my own parents,” said a concerned resident.

According to filings, Mayhugh told OSBI agents he planned to commit additional acts of violence.

While a motive has not been released the victims' relatives describe them as wonderful people who were beloved by friends and their community. “They were just amazing, they were selfless. I can't believe that someone like them… they didn’t deserve this. I can't believe they're gone. It's unreal,” said relative Savannah Burnett.
