In 2017, the Holston family who consisted of 25-year-old Stacey Holston, her husband Todd Holston, and their two sons, 8 year-old Devon and 2 year-old Braxton lived in a home on State route 93 in Pedro, Ohio. The family moved to this neighborhood to be closer to Stacey's family since most of them lived in this neighborhood or close by. It was here that Stacey struck up a romantic affair with her first cousin, 24-year-old Arron Lawson who also lived nearby. <br />    On October 6, 2017, however, Stacey broke off the affair with Arron because she did not want Todd to find out from anyone else but her, and she wanted her normal home life back. Arron was devastated by this and concocted a plan to kill Stacey and her family. On October 11th, Arron snuck into the Holston home after Todd left for work and waited for four hours until Stacey sent Devon off to school and entered the back bedroom. There he shot and killed Stacey with a shotgun, and did the same to Devon when he returned home from school. Since Todd had not heard from his wife all day, he phoned her parents, Tammie and Donald McGuire to check on her, but unfortunately, when Tammie entered the home, she was met by Arron and was shot and killed, as well. Then, Donald was sent to check and met the same fate. <br />            When Todd arrived home that night, he was also met by Arron and brutally stabbed in the head, neck, and chest but survived the attack and was able to call for help. Arron was apprehended 2 days later and has been sentenced to four death sentences plus an additional 59 years. <br /><br /><br /><b>Sources</b><br /><b><a href="https://www.fultonsun.com/news/2017/oct/15/Man-recounts-knife-attack-finding-bodies-of-wife-i/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fulton Sun (2017)</a></b><br /><b><a href="https://share.google/fVskW4KT7bPAyDO00" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WOWK13 (2019)</a></b><br /><b><a href="https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/lawrence-county-man-mourning-family-members-lost-in-quadruple-murder" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ABC6 (2017)</a></b><br /><b><a href="https://www.herald-dispatch.com/_recent_news/prosecutor-lays-out-grisly-details-of-quadruple-murder/article_1d66f6e8-363f-11e9-9084-637146d89135.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Herald Dispatch (2019)</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Documentaries/Videos</b><br /><b><a href="https://youtu.be/pimkw4pao3k?si=w6gAKZXHsivzMVCo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serialously|YouTube| Infatuated with WHO?!
