On the evening of May 7, 2026, deputies conducting a welfare check at a home on Ashworth Drive in Fairview, North Carolina, found Kimberly Michelle Kim Grant, 42, her husband Travis Eugene Grant, 41, and his mother Sharon Harwood Grant, 66, dead. Investigators say the victims sustained a combination of gunshot wounds and stab wounds. The couple’s 16-year-old daughter, Star Grant, was not at the scene.

Star Grant was located the next day in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, with 28-year-old Devan Oneal Loving. Both were taken into custody and returned to North Carolina after waiving extradition. Authorities charged each with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony conspiracy; Loving faces an additional abduction of a child charge. Prosecutors announced Star Grant will be tried as an adult. Investigators allege the pair stole wallets and a firearm after the killings and that both suspects made statements admitting involvement.

Family members told investigators Kimberly and Travis had recently learned of a relationship between Star Grant and Loving and were seeking a restraining order. If anyone knew the Grants or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
