Ronald Ron Thomas, 71, and his common-law wife Paula Ayala, 50, were fatally shot inside their home on Rice Street in Angleton, Texas, on October 31, 2021. The attack occurred about 5:30 p.m., while Halloween activities had children playing outside. Both victims were described as disabled; Ayala was a mother of two and a grandmother of five. They had been together for five years and were well-known in their neighborhood.

According to reports, a single shooter entered the home dressed in all black, about 6 feet tall, wearing a yellow face mask, and fled in a dark-colored SUV with chrome accessories after firing the shots. Police say the killings appear to have been targeted; no motive has been released and no arrests have been announced. Brazoria County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest.

Did anyone in Angleton see the described SUV or the person in dark clothing with a yellow face mask that afternoon?
