Kaylie Kaylor heard the gunshots that resulted in death of her neighbors

The victim family and Kaylie Kaylor’s family lived in the same duplex, the former occupied the ground floor while the latter occupied the upper floor. On June 13, 2023, Kaylie Kaylor made a Facebook post wherein she alleged that Devin Smith, one of the victims of the shooting, stood in front of a window and engaged in indecent conduct. This was done in full view of Kaylor’s daughters.

The indecent conduct was reported and the police arrived at the scene to investigate. Regarding the incident, Kellogg Police Chief Paul Twidt said:

"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."

While charges of indecent exposure were recommended, no such action was initiated as per available records. On the date of the murders, Kaylie Kaylor’s husband got into an altercation with Kenneth Guardipee and Kenna Guardipee regarding the conduct of the latter’s son. The perpetrator allegedly snapped at the victims and shot them.

Kaylie Kaylor recounts that she witnessed the argument and then heard the gunshots that followed in her statement to the police. Upon hearing this, she ran to the upper floor where she heard more shots, presumably the ones that killed the other two victims.

Kaylor told the police that she believes that her husband did what was necessary and that she would tell her children that their father protected them.

Her husband could be sentenced to death for his alleged crimes. He has not entered a plea as of the writing of this article. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for July 3, 2023.
