On the evening of August 29, 2015, three members of a Bristol, Tennessee household were fatally shot inside a mobile home while six children were present. Victims were 36-year-old James Millhorn, his 39-year-old wife Toshya Millhorn, and her 57-year-old mother Lena Rose. Some of the children in the residence suffered minor injuries from flying ammunition.

Police arrested 19-year-old Robert Seth Denton, identified as Toshya’s son and James’s stepson. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and additional counts including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment; bond was initially set at $1 million. The prosecution said the killings were deliberate and motivated by long-standing hatred; Denton said he had gone there for target practice with his grandfather and fled after hearing a rifle shot.

A jury convicted Denton in January 2019 on all counts of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Anyone who knew James, Toshya, Lena, or the family and can add information about their lives or the children present is asked to share what they know.
