Texas man kills 8 people, including ex-wife, her new husband, her kids, AND his own 13-yr-old son August 11, 2015

David Conley, 48, from Texas, broke into his former home and killed eight people because the woman he formerly lived with had changed the locks on the doors. According to a Harris County prosecutor, he handcuffed his victims in their bedrooms — then shot them. The photos above shows the 8 people who were killed by David Conley.

Before he shot them, Conley’s ex wife, Valerie Jackson sent a text message to her mother pleading for help, telling her that she and her children were being held at gunpoint by Conley. All his victims were bound and shot in the head execution style. One of those killed, was Conley’s own 13yr old son.

Conley has since been charged with capital murder after the bodies of two adults and six children were discovered in their Houston-area home early Sunday.

The victims’ ages ranged from 6 to 50 and included a woman, her husband and six children, according to Cannon. They are Valerie Jackson, 40, and Dwayne Jackson, 50. The children are Nathaniel, 13; Honesty, 11; Dwayne, 10; Caleb, 9; Trinity, 7; and Jonah, 6.




“We do not — cannot — fully comprehend the motivation of an individual that would take the lives of so many innocent people. Especially the lives of the youngest,” said Chief Deputy Tim Cannon of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. “The killer’s motives appear to be related to a dispute with Valerie, who was a former domestic partner.”

At a news conference Sunday afternoon, Cannon said the incident is a tragedy with which the community is all too familiar.

“We’re here today on a very sad day,” Cannon said. “We’re here with our brothers in arms standing behind us because we’re all hurting. It’s a difficult day for us at the sheriff’s office. Once again, a tragedy has struck … our city. Our hearts go out to those … affected by this tragedy.”

Conley has an extensive criminal history that dates back to 1988, including incidents of family violence, drugs and driving while under the influence.

Conley was recently charged with assaulting a family member — his second such charge — July 8 when he allegedly pushed his girlfriend’s head against a refrigerator multiple times, according to court documents. Conley reportedly told his girlfriend to discipline her 10-year-old son because he returned home from a park after dark. When she said no, Conley reportedly got a belt and said he would do it himself, court documents said. His girlfriend then reportedly grabbed the belt out of Conley’s hands and that’s when he allegedly pushed her head against the refrigerator.

In 2013, Conley was charged and convicted of aggravated assault of a family member when he threatened this same girlfriend with a knife. An emergency protective order and a no contact order was issued against Conley, court reports show, and he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine months in county jail.

Deputies called to perform a welfare check Saturday evening got no response at the door to the home when they arrived, Harris County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Thomas Gilliland said. Officers then received more information that indicated a man in the home was wanted on a warrant for aggravated assault on a family member.

The sergeant on the scene called for a High Risk Operations Unit, similar to SWAT, to help make entry and investigate. While the call was being placed, deputies surrounded the home and spotted the body of a juvenile through a window.

At that point, the four deputies on scene forced their way in, and the male suspect inside began shooting, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies pulled back and waited for the HROU to arrive.
