Reward Renewed in 2007 El Reno Murder Case

The OSBI has renewed up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the stabbing death of James Shaw inside his El Reno home May 21, 2007. By law, OSBI rewards expire after 90 days.

Shaw was found inside his home by a family member that evening.  The 73-year-old retired teacher/professor had made a trip to the bank and to Wal-Mart after having lunch with his wife earlier in the day.  Robbery may have been a motive.
