Mugshot of the Day:
Gregory Aaron Kinsey, ‘Misunderstood’
June
28, 2013 12:45 PM By Cora Van Olson
Gregory
Aaron Kinsey was arrested on June 26, 2013, in connection with the double
murders of Nathan Young, 32, and Brandon Prince, 39, who were hacked to death
with a machete in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Kinsey’s mother says he is
“misunderstood.”
Kinsey,
20, has no prior arrest record, and did not know the two victims before they
allegedly confronted him in an alley as he was returning from a store. The
confrontation escalated and Kinsey pulled out the machete and attacked. One
witness heard him mention, “Satan that’s within him.” After an eyewitness struck Kinsey
on the head with a board, Kinsey fled the scene. He was later arrested at his
mother’s house and police found the machete hidden there.
Kinsey
reportedly told police that during the murders he had a “clear mind” and that
“it was like he was watching a movie.”
Police
described the murder scene as something “out of a horror movie.” When asked
what the motive was, Sgt. Daniel Grubbs of the Fort Smith Police Department
said, “You can’t explain evil behavior like that.”
His
mother, Kimberley LeClaire, told 5newsonline.com that her son is “misunderstood,” that he’s
an “outcast,” a “cutter,” and that he is “brilliant.”

Machete Murder Suspect
Jailed on Two Counts of Capital Murder

Two
men are dead after being attacked by a man armed with a machete at a Fort Smith
home, according to police.
Police
said Nathan Young, 32, and Brandon Prince, 39, were stabbed to death, near the
intersection of North 16th and North D Street in Fort Smith, before 10 p.m.
Wednesday (June 26).
When
Police arrived they said they found Prince’s body on the front porch and
Young’s body in the grass on the west side of the home.
Police
arrested Gregory Aaron Kinsey, 20, in connection to the murders.
An
eyewitness said he was on the front porch of the duplex having a beer with the
two victims when Kinsey was seen walking in the alley next to the home with
grocery bags in his hands.
According
to court documents, Kinsey said he was walking back from the Dollar Store when
he thought he saw a person who used to date his mother. While looking through a
backyard, Kinsey said he was confronted by three people who wanted to know why
he was there.
Kinsey
and the victims exchanged words and Kinsey pulled out a machete to warn them,
the documents state.
Kinsey
told police he didn’t think the men would let him go so he started swinging the
machete, striking two of them. The men backed away, but Kinsey told police he
pursued them and hit one of them in the alley, according to court documents.
The
eyewitness told police he struck Kinsey on the head with a wood board and
Kinsey then fled from the scene.
Kinsey
told police he had a “clear mind” and once the fight started “it was like he
was watching a movie,” the affidavit for probable cause states.
Prince’s
two children, 15, and 2, were inside the home at the time. A witness described
the horror of seeing them scream for their father after the murders. The
children were temporarily taken into DHS custody until their mother or another
relative can be located.
The
gruesome scene was described by police as something “out of a horror movie.”
Sgt.
Daniel Grubbs with the Fort Smith Police Department said another witness said
he knew Kinsey’s mother and eventually led officers to South 17th street where
he was found in his mother’s garage-style apartment. Police say they also
seized the machete believed to be used in the attack from that home.
Kinsey
had no prior connection to the two victims and does not have a previous record,
according to Sgt. Grubbs. When asked what caused the altercation to escalate
into such a brutal attack Grubbs said, “You can’t explain evil behavior like
that.”
According
to Grubbs, another witness said he heard the suspect during the argument make
mention of “Satan that’s within him.”
A
Fort Smith prosecutor responding to the scene told police he plans to charge
Kinsey with two counts of Capital Murder. Kinsey is currently being held in the
Sebastian County Detention Center.
He
is expected to be arraigned at 9 a.m. on July 3 on two counts of capital
murder, according to Cpl. Patricia Sullivan.

FORT
SMITH, Ark. – The death penalty will be sought in the case against a man
accused of killing two people with a machete in June.
According to reports from KARK, Sebastian County Prosecutor Daniel Shue filed a letter Thursday saying he would seek the death penalty against Gregory Kinsey.
Kinsey, who is charged with two counts of murder for the deaths of Nathan Young and Brandon Prince, has pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The letter states that Shue based his decision on “the sufficiency of the evidence linking the Defendant to the offense; the seriousness of the offense; the Defendant’s culpability (including his mental state); and the Defendant’s criminal record.”
Local law enforcement and the families of the victims were consulted before making this decision.
According to authorities, Young and Prince were drinking beer on the front porch of a home on North D Street when Kinsey walked by carrying groceries.
After exchanging words, police say Kinsey told the men Satan was “within him” and he pulled out a machete and hacked the men to death.
