Who was Randall Scott Price?
Hannah Price lost his biological father Randall Scott Price to suicide in 2018, and her life has been filled with struggles and turmoil since the tragedy.
Randall Price was born on August 4, 1966, in Jacksonville, Texas but spent a major part of his life in Lexington, North Carolina. He worked as a Paramedic for Davidson County EMS in the initial years of his career, before training to become a nurse. He worked as a flight nurse in Arizona and New Mexico before retiring in his home state Texas.
In 2018, Price tragically died by shooting himself in his head, according to police reports. He died on March 5, 2018, at his home in Nacogdoches, Texas, though the cause has not been revealed. In his obituary, it was mentioned that he dedicated his life to helping others and changing many lives. "He enjoyed spending time with family and friends and playing with his granddaughter, Ava, in his pool. He was passionate about donating to his church, Melrose Baptist, and to the Gideons. He adored his 3 cats, Spunky, Cali, and “Little Spot”," mentioned his obituary on Find A Grave.
His sudden demise came as a shock to Hannah, who was not able to recover from the trauma completely. In fact, around eight months after losing her father, Hannah got involved in a gang conflict where she was shot in the face. She later had to get prosthetic eyes as her vision was affected. In April this year, she was arrested in a hit-and-run case after allegedly firing at another vehicle. Hannah eventually died in a shocking homicide and left behind two small children.
