In a tragic turn of events, a woman and her two children were discovered shot dead in their luxurious Arkansas mansion just a day after she attended a divorce hearing, as confirmed by local authorities.

The Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office reported that Charity Beallis, aged 40, along with two of her children, were found lifeless with gunshot wounds inside their Bonanza, Arkansas home on December 3. This devastating incident followed closely on the heels of the finalization hearing for her divorce from her estranged husband, Randall Beallis, according to details shared by 5 News.

Earlier this year, Republican Arkansas Senator Terry Rice revealed that Charity had approached him with concerns for her safety and the wellbeing of her children. Their meeting earlier in 2025 was marked by her palpable fear regarding her personal situation.

Randall Beallis had previously been apprehended in February 2025 following allegations of choking Charity. Initially, he faced charges including aggravated assault on a family member, third-degree domestic battery, and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor. However, by October, he had entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of third-degree battery.

Charity Beallis had officially initiated divorce proceedings against her husband in March, seeking to end their troubled relationship. Her decision marked the beginning of a battle for freedom that she would not live to see concluded.

According to 40/29 News, deputies said Randall, who is a doctor in Arkansas, wasn’t a suspect as of Friday.

Randall’s attorney told the outlet his client has been cooperative with law enforcement and fully supports the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office investigation.

He received a one-year suspended sentence and was given a no-contact order with his wife or any of her family members, which Charity approved of.

Charity made a comment on a 5 News article in August, where she wrote, “I’m living this battle right now. I am the victim, yet I’ve been treated like the problem while the criminal — a local doctor — is being shielded by the very system that’s supposed to protect us.”

“I’ve tried to reach Prosecuting Attorney … but he won’t even accept a letter from me. My voice, as the victim, has been shut out,” Charity wrote. “This is not just about me — this is about a system that protects offenders and rejects victims. Lives are at stake, including the lives of young children.”

Charity filed for divorce shortly after her husband was arrested in February. The divorce records indicate the two got married in 2015 and stopped living together in February.

After Charity died, on Dec. 4, Randall’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case. Charity was seeking full custody of the children.

“Search warrants have been written and executed with more search warrants anticipated during the investigation. Interviews have taken place with more anticipated,” the sheriff’s office wrote.
