Arkansas Mom, Children Murdered Day After Court Date
8 Dec
Summary
- Mother and two children found shot to death in Arkansas mansion.
- Victims discovered one day after attending a final divorce hearing.
- Husband previously faced domestic violence charges, was ordered no contact.
Tragedy struck a Bonanza, Arkansas, home on December 3, 2025, when deputies discovered the bodies of Charity Beallis, 40, and her two young children, believed to be six years old. All three victims had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. The discovery was made only a day after Beallis and her husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, attended a hearing to finalize their divorce.
Court records reveal a tumultuous history between the couple. Charity Beallis had filed for divorce in March 2025, citing domestic violence. Her husband had previously been arrested and charged with aggravated assault and domestic battery. He pleaded guilty to third-degree battery in October 2025 and received a suspended sentence, with a court order prohibiting contact with his estranged wife.
Despite Beallis's efforts to seek protection, as evidenced by her public statements about feeling unprotected by the justice system, the violence culminated in this devastating incident. Police have not yet made any arrests, and the investigation into the killings is ongoing as authorities continue to gather information.
