A judge issued a nondissemination order, commonly known as a gag order, Friday in the quadruple homicide case on Father’s Day in Kellogg.
Attorneys involved in the case, including any representing witnesses and victims, are prohibited from making written or oral statements that would influence the outcome of the case, according to the order by Shoshone County Magistrate Judge Keisha Oxendine.
31-year-old Majorjon Kaylor, who is being held in the Shoshone County Jail without bail, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the killings of 65-year-old Kenneth Guardipee; his 41-year-old daughter Kenna Guardipee; and her sons, 18-year-old Devin Smith, and 16-year-old Aiken Smith. He also faces a burglary charge for allegedly entering the family’s home.
The Shoshone County Prosecutor’s Office announced last week it will not seek the death penalty if Kaylor is convicted. He can still face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Kaylor’s next court appearance is scheduled for August.
