On Thursday, January 18th, 2018, as Rusty, his sister Heather and her fiancee, Brandon Roberts, took a trip over to Chinch Creek Road to deliver groceries and dog food to their father, a deadly shooting ensued. The father/patriarch, Anthony Parker, shot his son and daughter along with Brandon, to death in his front and back yard. ^{[1] [3]}

Deputies went to the home after receiving a phone call from Parker, saying he had killed people and was going to kill himself.

Parker had also called a relative who told them about what he had done - that relative would then also call the police.

After tracing the origin of the 911 call, Parker's location was traced to a nearby store.

Parker was found at that location with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

He would later die of his wound.

The incident has been described as quadruple murder-suicide.
