Onawa man accused of murdering his wife has trial scheduled for 2025

ONAWA, Iowa (KTIV) - A Northwest Iowa man being charged with the death of his wife has had his trial scheduled for 2025.

Court documents show Jamie Allen, who is facing one count of first-degree murder, has a jury trial scheduled for Jan. 28, 2025. Jamie Allen has already pleaded not guilty to his murder charge and has waived his right to a speedy trial.

Jamie Allen’s charge stems from a shooting back on Friday, May 10 at a home in Onawa, Iowa. According to Iowa’s Division of Criminal Investigation, when authorities got there they found Jamie Allen’s wife, Stacey Allen, dead from a gunshot wound.

“On May 10, 2024, at approximately [5:40 p.m.], Jamie Lee Allen having malice aforethought, willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation killed his wife, Stacey Maria Jean Allen with a firearm, outside of their home,” said authorities in court documents.
