NASCAR Star Jimmie Johnson’s Mother-In-Law, Terry Janway, Remains Primary Suspect In Murder-Suicide That Left 3 Dead

Last week, star NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson’s mother-in-law, father-in-law and nephew were all killed after a fatal shooting occurred in their home in Oklahoma.

The three victims were Jack and Terry Janway, his wife Chandra Janway‘s parents, and his nephew Dalton, who was only 11 years old.

On Friday, the Muskogee Police Department issued an update that the deaths are being investigated as a murder-suicide case, and it is believed that Terry is the main suspect. 

The police stated in a press release that a woman called officers and stated, “that there was a disturbance and someone had a gun and then hung up.”

Johnny Teehee, who is the chief of police of the department stated, “When officers arrived on scene they saw a subject laying in the hallway inside the front door.” He continued to say, “Shortly after arriving officers heard another gunshot from further inside the house. Officers conducted a rescue of the subject laying inside the hallway and determined the subject was deceased.”

When the scene was cleared and other officers were permitted to search the residence they found, “two more subjects were found deceased inside the residence.”

NASCAR offered the Johnson family their condolences on Tuesday.

“We are saddened by the tragic deaths of members of Chandra Johnson’s family. The entire NASCAR family extends its deepest support and condolences during this difficult time to Chandra, Jimmie and the entire Johnson & Janway families.”

The Legacy Motor Club similarly released a statement. 

“LEGACY MOTOR CLUB has elected to withdraw the No. 84 Carvana Chevrolet from this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series event in Chicago. The Johnson family has asked for privacy at this time and no further statements will be made.”

The mayor of Muskogee, Marlon Coleman, publicly addressed the incident. He personally knew the family as Jack worked as the town chiropractor and Coleman was his patient.

“It was traumatizing to find out that a long-standing family who had made so many contributions to our community were involved in this type of incident. It was even more bone-chilling to find out there was a child involved,” he told Fox23 in an interview. “I knew Dr. Janway. Dr Janway has worked on me, we’ve been acquaintances for a very, very long time since I’ve been in Muskogee. Just knowing that it was him and his family took a different toll on me.”
