Waylon Grant Collins was an 18-year-old from Tomball, Texas, who was killed on June 2, 2022, at a ranch near Centerville, Texas. He was one of five family members found during a welfare check; the others were his 66-year-old grandfather Mark Collins, his brothers Carson and Hudson Collins, and a cousin, Bryson Collins.

Investigators say the killings were carried out by 46-year-old fugitive Gonzalo Lopez, who had escaped from a prison transport bus after allegedly stabbing and injuring the transport driver. Lopez was reported to have been on the run for several weeks, to have stolen firearms and a truck from the ranch, and to have been fatally shot by officers following a shootout in Atascosa County south of San Antonio.

The community and Tomball School District mourned the family; funeral services were held in Houston with a large attendance. If anyone knew Waylon or the Collins family, or has information about the events leading up to June 2, 2022, please come forward.
