Ricky Ray Collier, 56, was one of three people killed on September 14, 2014, in a shooting at the Marina Village RV park in Flour Bluff, Texas. Authorities say 63-year-old Sammuel Everett Toomey targeted neighbors during a shooting spree that also killed Pamela Kay Rhodes, 63, and Laura Elaine Ogden, 32; a 10-year-old boy was wounded and survived. Investigators recovered the handgun used in the attack and identified a long-standing feud between Toomey and his neighbors as the motive.
Toomey later confessed that those victims were his intended targets and was charged with capital murder. He was found hanging in his jail cell, an outcome that prompted investigations and civil lawsuits alleging excessive force and inadequate training by the Corpus Christi Police Department. The city agreed to settle some claims, including payment of Toomey’s medical bills and funeral expenses, while questions remained about the events before and after the killings.
