Mark Allen Collins, 66, of Centerville, Texas, was killed on June 2, 2022, at the family ranch along with his four grandsons Waylon, Carson, Hudson, and Bryson. All five victims died of gunshot and stab wounds after an attack at the property. The suspect was identified as 46-year-old Gonzalo Lopez, a convicted murderer who had escaped from a prison transport bus earlier that month.

Authorities say Lopez had ties to Mexican drug cartels, stole the Collins family pickup truck and firearms, and led law enforcement on a chase that ended in a shootout near San Antonio during which Lopez was killed. Investigators reported Lopez had no prior connection to the Collins family.

The community in Centerville and nearby areas mourned the family, describing them as kind-hearted and faith-driven; the family received widespread support and tributes from the pastor and friends. Are there readers who knew the Collins family or who have information about the events of June 2, 2022?
