Investigators suspect 16-year-old Star Grant and a 28-year-old accomplice killed the girl\u2019s parents and grandmother on May 1 \u2013 six days before deputies stumbled onto the crime during a May 7 welfare check, the warrant states.<\/p>\n

Grant returned to North Carolina on Wednesday, after being extradited from Sevier County, Tennessee, the Buncombe County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a May 13 news release.<\/p>\n

Her accomplice, Devan Oneal Loving, has waived extradition and is expected to return to N.C. later this week, officials said.<\/p>\n

The two are believed to have traveled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, after fatally shooting Travis Eugene Grant, 41, Kimberly Michelle Grant, 42, and Sharon Harwood Grant, 66, at the family\u2019s home on Ashworth Drive in Fairview, N.C., investigators say.<\/p>\n

Travis and Kimberly Grant are the parents of Star Grant, and Sharon Grant is the girl\u2019s grandmother, the sheriff\u2019s office says.<\/p>\n

The arrest warrant says Star Grant conspired with Oneal to commit the killings, but it does not reveal a motive.<\/p>\n

Investigators discovered Star Grant lived at the home and was missing after the crime. A tip led to her being discovered with Loving in Gatlinburg, which a 95-mile drive northwest from Fairview.<\/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

The teen is being charged as an adult in the case, officials said.<\/p>\n

Fairview is about a 120-mile drive northwest from uptown Charlotte.<\/p>\n
