Bethany Marie Mullican, 28, of Amarillo, Texas, was found shot to death on November 7, 2022, at Lakeview Mobile Home Park. Her boyfriend, Tyler James Knight, 33, was also found shot and killed at the scene. Investigators identified Tyler’s 15-year-old son, Christopher Lee Knight, as the suspect; he was arrested the next day, November 8, 2022, in Judsonia, Arkansas, after stealing his father’s car and cell phone and was found with a .45 handgun. Christopher was indicted on capital murder charges and the matter was transferred to adult criminal court because of the severity of the crime and public safety concerns.

The Amarillo Police Department Homicide Unit worked with other agencies during the investigation. The community has held tributes and memorials for Bethany, who is remembered for her love of arts and crafts and passion for painting. The legal proceedings are ongoing. If anyone knew Bethany or has information about the events around November 7, 2022, please come forward.
