George Oliver Prescott Jr., 63, and his wife Cathy were found dead from gunshot wounds in their Natchez, Mississippi home on February 23, 2020. The victims were discovered after their son, Colton Prescott, then 34, arrived to pick up his infant daughter and an argument reportedly escalated to gunfire. Colton fled the scene with the child; law enforcement located and arrested him about 15 miles from the residence and the child was returned to her mother unharmed.

Colton was charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths. Friends and acquaintances described Colton as having struggled in the years before the killings, with drug use and the accidental death of his 3-year-old son in 2016 cited as contributing difficulties.

What additional details about the timeline or motive can anyone add who followed the case closely?
