BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho father killed a neighboring family because he was upset that the neighbor’s 18-year-old son had reportedly exposed himself to the man’s children, a police document alleges.

Majorjon Kaylor, 31, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the Father’s Day shooting in Kellogg, nearly 400 miles (644 kilometers) north of Boise.

Kaylor shot and killed Kenneth Guardipee, 65; his daughter Kenna Guardipee, 41; and her sons 18-year-old Devin Smith and 16-year-old Aiken Smith, an Idaho State Police detective said in a probable cause affidavit that was released Tuesday evening.

Kaylor and his wife, Kaylie Kaylor, told investigators that they were upset because Devin Smith had exposed himself in front of his bedroom window in view of the Kaylors’ young daughters several days earlier. The families shared a duplex, and the girls were playing in the yard when the exposure allegedly occurred.

GRAPHIC WARNING: The story contains details that may be disturbing.

The alleged indecent exposure was reported to the police, and the police report was forwarded to the county prosecutor the same day so a criminal charge could be filed, Kellogg Police Chief Paul Twidt told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

But on Sunday evening, the Kaylors argued with Kenna and Kenneth Guardipee over how the allegation was being handled. That’s when Majorjon Kaylor shot both adults near their front door before going inside the family’s apartment to kill the two sons, according to probable cause affidavit.

Kenneth Guardipee’s brother, Russell, told Spokane, Washington, TV station KHQ that Kenneth helped his daughter raise the two boys, making sure that they made it to after-school events and doctor appointments. Devin Smith had some behavioral issues, Russell Guardipee said, but he did not provide details.

A longtime family friend, Katy James, told The Spokesman-Review newspaper that Devin Smith struggled with a learning disability and had difficulty with social cues, but that he had worked hard to move past his issues.

The Guardipee family loved the outdoors, mountain biking and skiing, and Kenna Guardipee’s social media posts sometimes included photos of their bikes parked in front of scenic mountain views. Devin had just graduated from high school, and Aiken was a member of the local Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. Kenna worked as a cook at a nearby assisted living facility.

“Received 2 National level awards from the MCJROTC program,” Aiken Smith wrote in a social media post late last year. “Joining the program is one of the best decisions I have ever made and I wouldn’t change it for anything.”

By Tuesday night, a collection of balloons, flowers and photos had been left outside of the family’s home by friends and relatives.

On Wednesday, the landing page of the Kellogg High School website included a list of local counseling resources, information about grieving, and a handout on how to talk to young students about tragedy.

Kaylor made his first appearance in court Tuesday and is being held without bond. He has not yet entered a plea, and a preliminary hearing has been set for July 3. Prosecutors could seek the death penalty, but they don’t have to inform the court of their plans until 60 days after a plea is entered.

After the shooting, Kaylie Kaylor told police that her husband had warned authorities that if if an indecent exposure were to happen again that he “was going to take care of it, which she indicated she interpreted as more like beating someone up,” Idaho State Police Detective Justin Klitch wrote in the affidavit.

Kaylie Kaylor also said she and her husband had shared a meme that referred to Leon Gary Plauche, a father who shot a man suspected of abducting and sexually abusing his son in a Louisiana airport in 1984, according to the affidavit. The meme included a drawing of Plauche shooting the suspected abuser, along with the words “How to catch a predator.”

She also told the detective that after the shootings, her husband handed her his wallet, keys and phone and told her to tell their children that “he protected them,” according to the affidavit.

When police arrived at the duplex to respond to two 911 calls about the shooting, Majorjon Kaylor was still there.

Majorjon Kaylor told police that he was suspicious of Devin Smith and concerned about his own kids, and that he felt the Guardipees weren’t taking his concerns seriously, the affidavit said.

“Kaylor said he ‘Snapped,’ ‘Lost it,’ and ‘Did something about it,’” Klitch wrote.

The charging documents allege the shootings of the two oldest victims were “premeditated and/or to execute vengeance.” The other killings were allegedly “premeditated, to executive vengeance, and/or committed in the perpetration of burglary,” according to the charging documents. Under Idaho law, it is considered burglary to enter a house, room or apartment with the intent to commit a felony such as murder.

This case checks a lot of boxes for things libs want to normalize in public opinion, legal precedent, and eventually codified law:

- sickos exposing themselves to little girls is totally normal and ok

-any attempt by a white father to defend his family must be punished

-said punishment should be death if said white father uses an evil GUN he never should have been allowed to own in the first place

-Idaho is full of MAGA murderous jan 6 psychos and must be regulated accordingly at the federal level if our sacred democracy is to have a hope of survival

-Same for all states that went for Trump in 2020

even if it’s a red area and the prosecutors, judge, and prospective jury members are currently inclined to be lenient on this guy, Soros et al. have enough time to fix any or all of those to deliver the end result they really want Americans to see here.

In a way, the shithead flasher was doing everyone a favor by jerking off, because its probably the least impactful way of demonstrating that he would 100% molest your kids if given the chance, allowing you to take steps to prevent that from happening.

no thanks bro, and i'm a longtime board lib. i have nothing against autistic bros and the families that support them, but when you won't stop them from this shit and you obstruct earlier efforts to stop the problem, you get snuffed. like i said earlier, this is fundamental civilization shit.

i'll be amazed if this guy gets convicted of anything in this super red county, let alone capital murder

And killing the kid is one thing, but his whole family? If it was just the kid he'd rightfully be out in a few years. Now he'll spend the remainder of his life, or at least the vast majority of it, behind bars. And rightfully so.

In all likelihood he's lying about the sex shit anyway. It's probably a murder over drugs. Look at his tattoos; he's a worthless piece of shit.
