James Edward Martin lived in the home with 81-year-old Faye Spruell, her granddaughter Jessica Adams, and Adams' 7-year-old daughter. Martin was Adams's former boyfriend and reportedly pulled a gun on Adams, so the family kicked him out of the house. Martin came back and allegedly killed Spruell and then held Jessica and her daughter hostage at gunpoint. According to Adams, Martin was pointing a gun at both her and her daughter in her grandma's bedroom when members of SWAT came in and shot and killed Martin.
