Another quadruple murder in Idaho lower than a 12 months after those in Moscow? Horrifying! But this case has nearly nothing in widespread with the University of Idaho murders…
A person named Majorjon Kaylor was arrested Sunday — charged with 4 counts of homicide and considered one of housebreaking. According to the prison grievance, the 31-year-old introduced a holstered gun out with him, supposedly to water the vegetation within the yard of his house constructing in Kellogg, Idaho. Instead, it’s alleged, Kaylor discovered his neighbors, a household of 4, and shot all of them to dying. The victims have been Kenneth Guardipee, 65 his daughter Kenna Guardipee, 41, and her sons Devin Smith, 18, and Aiken Smith, 16. The household had solely lately moved into the house constructing.
Police arrived on the scene to seek out the 2 adults useless within the yard, with single gunshot wounds to the top. Inside, 16-year-old Aiken was discovered with a single point-blank gunshot wound; Devin had been shot a number of occasions.
There was surveillance video of the killings, and blood and tissue have been discovered on Majorjan’s .45 caliber handgun. It was a slam dunk case. He even confessed to police, based on early studies.

Majorjon’s spouse Kaylie posted on Facebook just a few days earlier than the taking pictures about an incident with Devin Smith, the 18-year-old boy. She claimed she noticed the teenager standing in entrance of his bed room window, masturbating — in clear view of her and her two younger daughters, who have been enjoying within the yard. Devin lived together with his household on the primary flooring — it isn’t clear if he noticed the women or not.
However, Majorjon clearly thought this was greater than an unintended publicity. He and his spouse referred to as the police, who got here to the house advanced to research. No arrest was made through the preliminary go to, however prices of indecent publicity have been in the end really useful. These prices have been by no means filed — however we don’t know if that’s as a result of they weren’t going to be or as a result of the DA hadn’t gotten round to it. Kellogg Police Chief Paul Twidt defined:
“We responded to the call, investigated the call, and the report was done that day and submitted to the prosecutor’s office for charges. I stand by what my officer did, and he did everything he could at the time. Nobody could have foreseen anything like this.”
Clearly Majorjan didn’t assume police did sufficient. According to CBS2 IdahoNews, the suspected killer advised investigators he “lost it” after the teenager uncovered himself to his daughters. He mentioned he grew “suspicious and concerned for his children” afterward — and believed he noticed the 18-year-old watching his daughters. He “snapped” and took issues into his personal arms.
He reportedly advised his spouse after the shootings that “he did what he had to do” and to inform the youngsters he “protected” them. He didn’t attempt to flee, he merely locked his handgun in his truck and waited for the police to reach. A hell of an finish to their Father’s Day.
This dad could consider he did the fitting factor, however the shootings have been dominated to be “premeditated and/or to execute vengeance,” per the grievance. And two have been “committed in the perpetration of burglary” as he was contained in the Guardipees’ residence. If discovered responsible, Majorjan may get the dying penalty. A preliminary listening to is scheduled for July 3.
A GoFundMe has been arrange for each households. The Kaylors’ is HERE, the Guardipees’ might be discovered HERE. Majorjon’s brother Buddy wrote on the “Support the Kaylor family” web page:
“I am trying to raise money for my sister in law and 3 small children for rent groceries and the necessities to live after a tragic event. After enduring continuous unthinkable sexual harassment by a neighbor the current situation has left my brother in jail and the three kids and mom without a provider, thank you for your donations anything helps.”
“The current situation has left my brother in jail”? Seriously? That’s leaving off fairly an enormous a part of the story.
The surprising crimes are sure to fire up controversy. Obviously if a father killed to guard his kids from sexual crimes, there are a lot of who would defend him. However, it’s not clear that’s what occurred right here. Even if there was proof that the publicity was intentional or that disgusting leering was occurring, it wasn’t his place to kill the child. And it actually wouldn’t clarify the homicide of three harmless members of the family, together with a minor. There’s simply no solution to justify this crime.
