The family of two of the victims and the suspect in Saturday’s triple homicide in Indianola has released a statement.
Steve Scott, Sarah Scott and Vanessa Hollins, all of Indianola, were shot and killed during the noon hour at a residence on Janet Davis Drive on Saturday.
Alton Williams, the grandson of Steve Scott and Sarah Scott, was arrested shortly after officers arrived on the scene.
The family reached out to The Enterprise-Tocsin on Sunday evening, offering the following statement.
“There are no words to express the heartbreak and loss we feel from the tragic deaths of Steve, Sarah and Vanessa. They were our father, mother, grandparents, uncle, aunts, cousins and dear friend. They were beloved for their dedication to us and this community. We’ve all seen the devastation that mental health related tragedies have brought to so many families across the country, and now it’s at our front door. Despite our efforts and love, the unforeseen has taken place. We ask for your prayers and for privacy as we work through this with the Lord. The Williams family.”
