Charles Vallow, Lori Vallow's fourth husband who was killed in July 2019 (Twitter)
How did Charles Vallow die? Charles was killed on July 11, reportedly over a custody dispute with Vallow over their seven-year-old son Joshua. Vallow's brother Alex Cox called the cops after shooting Charles, claiming self-defense. According to police records, Charles had gone to Vallow's home in Chandler to pick up Joshua. The duo then engaged in a loud argument. That led Vallow's daughter, Tylee Ryan to confront Charles with a metal bat. In a bid to defend her mother, Ryan tried to get Charles to back away, but he was able to take the bat away from her.
