On April 18, 2021, three people were shot to death at a duplex on Williams Street in Van Buren, Arkansas: 23-year-old Paiden Nicole Priest, her 2-year-old son Grayson Alexander Beckham, and 24-year-old David Wayne Priest. Neighbors reported hearing arguing and then gunshots around 12:41 a.m., and said bullets pierced the shared wall; one struck a neighbor’s headboard.

Officers who responded found Paiden and Grayson dead at the scene. David was located with a gunshot wound and taken to a hospital, where he later died. Investigators believe David Priest was responsible for the deaths of his wife and stepson before his own shooting. Authorities described the motive as unclear; neighbors recalled the family as nice and sweet.
