He kidnapped his ex-wife (who is married to Huckabee's cousin now) and their three children after killing her husband. Drove to his parents house close to here and left the kids. Cops chased him down and he shot & killed ex-wife before cops killed him.
BTW, he killed his brother in 1991 because he asked him to turn tv down so he could sleep.
....he killed Mike Huckabee’s cousin.....

Well..... in Arkansas they’re all each other’s cousin.
Huckabee has had his 'forgiveness' philosophy come back to attack his own family.
Sounds like he could have worked for the Clintons.
What a horrific story.
Huckabee also pardoned a murderer who later went on to rape and murder in Kansas City.
But then there is the Hank Johnson exception . . .
Prayers for the family.
Since they're all Huckabees, do you know if the sisters married brothers?
Wow, story says he was 36. If he killed his brother in 1991, that means he was 15 when he did it.
Too quick and impersonal. Not enough pain and fear.
This one should have first gotten to experience some of what Roy Batty said and did to Deckard:
"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?"
It would have been a nice send off for where he is now.
The search for an El Dorado man sought for the murder of his ex-wife's husband and the kidnapping of her and her children was shot and killed by police Sunday night - moments after he shot her.
It happened in a wooded area in western El Dorado off of Parnell Road and Sonny Brook Lane, just after 10:00 p.m. Officers had just found the vehicle when Donald Hux, 36, reportedly shot and killed Amy Huckabee as officers approached. Officers opened fire, killing Hux.
I bet these people weren't too thrilled with the choice of his location of suicide by cop!

“Since they’re all Huckabees, do you know if the sisters married brothers?”
Either a reporter screwed up or Huckabee did...
Sandy Huckabee’s father and Mike Huckabee’s father were cousins, a spokesman for the former Arkansas governor told The Associated Press.

ASP to head up Hux investigation
January 23, 2012
The Arkansas State Police will take point in the investigation into the shooting death of Donald Hux Sunday evening following a standoff with Union County deputies after Hux reportedly kidnapped and then killed his ex-wife.
ASP spokesperson Bill Sadler said this morning the criminal investigations division will look into whether the situation necessitated the use of force that led to Huxs death.
The News-Times is currently waiting on a release of the sequence of events that led to the two deaths on Parnell Road last night. However, Union County Sheriff Mike McGough just confirmed that Hux first shot Huckabee before deputies shot him.
Prior to the standoff, Hux was also wanted in connection with an attack that resulted in the death of Sandy Carl Huckabee, Amy Huckabees new husband, earlier in the day.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. A man suspected of shooting his ex-wife and killing her new husband, a distant cousin of former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, wrote her threatening letters from jail that prompted police to get an arrest warrant.
Police in Arkansas couldnt arrest Donald Hux, however, because he was in custody in Texas and later Louisiana. He was released from jail Thursday, and authorities say he turned up at his ex-wifes home in Arkadelphia on Sunday morning and shot her husband, Sandy Huckabee, in the head.
Police say Hux then kidnapped his ex-wife, Amy Huckabee, and their three children, the youngest of whom is just 3 years old. He drove to his fathers house about 80 miles away and left the children there.
Authorities found Sandy Huckabees body on Sunday morning. That night, sheriffs deputies found Hux and Amy Huckabee in a vehicle near a gravel road in a rural part of southern Arkansas Union County.
We dont have the autopsy back, but the officers saw him shoot her, Chief Deputy Bill Hickman said.

Amy Huckabee told police in August that Hux had been sending her threatening letters.
“My ex-husband is in jail in Lubbock, Texas,” she said according to an Aug. 1 police report. “He has continued to send me letters off and on for months, but the one I got today was just too much. ... I’m scared that if and when he gets out he will come after me.”
The Associated Press obtained copies of Hux’s handwritten notes. In them, he calls his wife a number of foul names.
“I’m surprised churches don’t catch on fire just because you walk through the doors,” he wrote in part of one letter attached to a court document.
Hux also said he wished his wife would have a heart attack or develop breast, cervical or lung cancer.
“When I get done your gonna want to kill yourself to put yourself out of misery. Thats the only way you’ll get any relief from the hell I’ll cause you,” he wrote.
Amy Huckabee knew her ex-husband was being released from jail. She spoke often with a detective in Louisiana, including on the day he was released and the day after, Caddo Parish Sheriff spokeswoman Cindy Chadwick said.
“She was very concerned,” Chadwick said.
A man who answered the phone at a number listed for Hux and his father said, “There’s no comment to be made right now.”

Hux, a truck driver, bounced from jail in Texas, where he was indicted for sexually assaulting a woman at a Lubbock truck stop, to Louisiana, where he was accused of a similar crime, Chadwick said.
A 22-year-old Caddo Parish woman said Hux threatened her with a handgun and raped her in the cab of his semitrailer at a truck stop in May 2010, the local sheriffs office said. He pleaded guilty to soliciting a prostitute, a less severe charge than the aggravated rape count he originally faced.
Amy Huckabee cited Huxs solicitation of prostitutes online and physical and mental abuse suffered by her and her children as grounds for divorce in a court document last year.
But it was Hux who originally filed for divorce, said his attorney, Bob Depper.
The couple separated in 2010 after a decade of marriage. Their divorce was finalized last year, when Amy married Sandy Huckabee.
Huxs criminal history dates to the 1990s, when he pleaded guilty to an assault charge after he shooting at a mans truck in Union County. He also pleaded guilty to animal cruelty, theft of property and another charge stemming from the theft and killing of a pet turkey.
Hux didnt receive any jail time in those cases but was sentenced to 24 months in a regional punishment facility for setting a towel on fire while he was being held in jail.
A man who answered the phone at a number listed for Hux and his father said, Theres no comment to be made right now.
Depper, who has represented Hux in several cases, said the family is struggling with the tragic news.
Donnie certainly had his demons, but it is a sad day for all involved, he said.
This question crossed my mind too, the only thing I could think of is, I believe she was orignally from Springhill, LA and she did not know his background. When she found out his full capacity for evil it was probably too late.
