Murder suspicion against the man in connection with the death of women in January in Jordan

Months after a woman was shot in the back of the head, a man was charged with her death against him.

On Friday, a number of second degree against John Joseph Peterson, 41, was submitted in connection with the death of 46-year-old Tabitha Renee Justice.

According to the criminal complaint, the Jordan police were looking for a missing person on January 28 who was later identified as a judiciary in the Quaker Avenue in Jordan. The person who reported them as missing said she had not seen justice since December 10th.

The officials went to the last known address of Justice and found Justice's body on the lower level of an outbuilding near a house. Court documents note that justice had a hole in the back of the head, and the officials found a 9 -mm ball housing near their body.

Hennepin County's medical examiner decided to death as a murder, which was caused by a gunshot wound on the head.

The investigators interviewed the friends of Justice and learned that she had a relationship with a man named “Nico” and that she had lived with him. According to court files, Justice had informed one of her friends that Nico was “very controlling, bi-polar and physically aggressive” and accused the judiciary to have cheated on him.

On February 4, the authorities interviewed Peterson, who said he used the name Nico and was called by justice. He explained that he saw justice two to three days before Christmas when she came home, but said he never saw her or heard her again.

According to court documents, the investigators found a search order in a house in Hovland on April 11 and arrested him for a violation of the probation. In the house, the authorities found a 9 -mm gun and several 9 -mm housing used.

On April 17, the investigators received the laboratory analysis of the houses found in the Jordan scene and in the house in Hovland and found that some of them were shot by the 9 -mm gun. The next day, prints were found on the weapon that corresponded to Peterson's prints.

Peterson is currently in custody in the Lesueur County prison and is taken to Scott County's prison to stand against the indictment for the indictment of murder.
