Star Grant is being held in the Sevier County jail in west Tennessee, and has waived extradition back to North Carolina, the Buncombe County Sheriff\u2019s Office announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Her co-conspirator, Devan Oneal Loving, also waived extradition, officials said.<\/p>\n

The two are believed to have traveled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, after fatally shooting Star Grant\u2019s father, mother and grandmother at the family\u2019s home on Ashworth Drive in Fairview, N.C., investigators say. Gatlinburg is about a 95-mile drive northwest from Fairview.<\/p>\n

Court documents report Travis Eugene Grant, 41, Kimberly Michelle Grant, 42, and Sharon Harwood Grant, 66, may have been dead for days before their bodies were found on May 7.<\/p>\n

An arrest warrant says the killings were planned and carried out by Star Grant and Loving with \u201cmalice aforethought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Details of a motive have not been released, and investigators have not said who fired the shots.<\/p>\n

A tip led detectives to discover Star Grant and Loving were at a motel in Gatlinburg, officials said.<\/p>\n

The two have been charged with three counts of first degree murder and one count each of felony conspiracy, officials said. Loving faces an additional charge of abduction of a child, due to Star Grant being a minor.<\/p>\n
