The man accused of shooting and killing four people in Kellogg Sunday night will not face the death penalty.

The Shoshone County Prosecutor’s office filed a notice with the courts indicating that they will not seek the death penalty for 31-year-old Majorjon Kaylor who is facing four counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Kenneth Guardipee, his daughter Kenna Guardipee, and her two teen aged sons Devin Smith and Aiken Smith.

According to a police affidavit, Kaylor and his wife were upset because they had allegedly witnessed Devin Smith, who was 18, expose himself in front of his bedroom window, while Kaylor’s children were playing outside.

After getting into a heated argument, Kaylor allegedly shot all four of the family members at point blank range with a .45 caliber handgun.

Kaylor is currently being held without bond and a preliminary hearing has been scheduled for July 3rd.
