A mother and her two young children were shot dead inside their family's $760,000 Arkansas home amid a bitter divorce battle with her doctor husband.
Charity Beallis, 40, was found dead at her residence in Bonanza, near the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, during a welfare check on December 3.
She and her twin children, aged six, had suffered gunshot wounds, the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office revealed. Police are not identifying the children at this time.
Officers discovered the bodies after gaining access to the home with the assistance of two property workers.
An autopsy will be carried out to determine the exact cause of their deaths.
The shootings remain under investigation and police have conducted a search of the home. They expect further search warrants to be executed.
Charity and her husband Randall Beallis purchased the home together in 2017, according to county property records reviewed by the Daily Mail.
She filed for divorce in March this year. Randall was allegedly facing domestic violence charges, so Charity sought full custody of the children, court filings stated.
The trio were found dead two days after a scheduled divorce hearing at the Sebastian County Courthouse, KSFM reported.
Randall's attorney filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case after Charity's death was announced on December 4.
The pair had their final divorce hearing on December 2. No documents referencing the proceeding or its outcome were publicly available, but Randall's attorney Michael Pierce told KSFM that he had been awarded joint-custody of the twins at the hearing.
In a statement, Pierce said that Randall has been 'cooperative with law enforcement and fully supports the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office investigation.'
'We hope the sheriff's office finds the truth about what happened to Mrs. Charity Beallis and their children,' Pierce concluded.
Randall had been arrested in February after he allegedly choked Charity and caused her physical harm, according to the divorce filings obtained by the news outlet.
He was originally charged with aggravated assault on a family member, third-degree domestic battery, and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor.
But the charges were amended in October to only include third-degree battery.
Randall pleaded guilty to the charge and received a 1-year suspended imposition of sentence and was ordered to pay more than $1,500 in court fees.
A judge also barred him from having contact with Charity or any members of her family unless authorized by a court order.
Police have not named a suspect in the deadly shooting, but Charity's father Randy Powell said he believes Randall is responsible.
'There's nobody else in the world that had any reason to harm her or those babies but him,' Powell told Law & Crime. 'And that was only for the financial gain and the hatred he had.'
Charity and Randall purchased their 2,554 square foot home for $435,000 in 2017, according to the Sebastian County Assessor.
Realty website estimate the four bedroom, four bath property is now worth nearly $760,000.
The couple had been delinquent on their 2024 property taxes, records showed. A $3,132.28 payment was made to the county last month to address the delinquency.
Randall had been placed under a no contact order and is understood to no longer be living in the home.
Public records reveal he has been living at a condominium complex in nearby Fort Smith, Arkansas where units rent for $950 to $1,425 per month.
Randall is a family medicine physician based in the Fort Smith area. According to the Arkansas Department of Health, he still has an active medical license, which does not expire until February 2027.
It is unclear if or where he is currently employed, but Randall was affiliated with the Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital in March last year.
The hospital praised him on Doctor's Day for his alleged 'truly exceptional' expertise in rehabilitation medicine.
He was attributed to playing an 'integral' role at the facility and hailed for his 'commitment to our patient's well-being and for guiding their path to rehabilitation.'
Mother offed herself and her kids after husband wouldn't get back together with her.
