Charity Beallis, a 40-year-old mother from Arkansas, was found dead at her home with her twin children on Thursday, December 4. She was involved in a months-long divorce battle with her estranged husband, Randall Beallis, and appeared in the final hearing on Wednesday. Charity and her kids were found with gunshot wounds. 

According to various review aggregators, Randall Beallis is a Fort Smith, Arkansas-based doctor who specializes in family medicine, hospital medicine, and other specialties. The health care provider graduated from medical school in 1995 and has over three decades of experience. 

Randall Beallis married Charity in 2015, and they welcomed twins in 2019. However, the latter filed for divorce earlier this year in March. She also requested full custody of the children and a protective order. In February, Dr. Randall Beallis was arrested for allegedly choking Charity in front of their children. 

According to Sebastian County inmate records, he was charged with Aggravated Assault on a family or household member and third-degree domestic battery. Randall Beallis also faced two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor, per the jail records. In October, the Arkansas health care provider pleaded guilty to third-degree battery. 

Per People, Dr. Beallis received a one-year suspended sentence and was fined $1,500. The court ordered him to have no contact with Charity or her family members. Their divorce proceedings concluded in early December, a day before her and her children’s deaths.
