    Yellville, AR (KFSM) — Authorities in northern Arkansas say a 32-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shootings of his grandfather and his uncle.

Marion County Sheriff Clinton Evans says Donald Steven Beckwith Jr. was arrested Saturday on first-degree murder warrants.

Jail records show Beckwith is being held without bail, but do not list an attorney for him.
