UPDATE: During a press conference held at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Chief Deputy Tim Cannon stated that the deceased victims were counted as six children and two adults. The victims ranged in age from six to fifty. Two of the victims were female and six were male. The deceased family members were identified as: Valerie Jackson, 40; her husband Duane Jackson, 50; and their six children – Nathaniel, Honesty, Duane, Jr., Caleb, Trinity and Jonna. (Spelling of names were not given at this time.) Initial reports stated there were five children and three adults killed.
During the press conference, it was revealed that there were three calls for a welfare check, possibly including one call reporting a man with a gun. Cannon responded that the deputies did not have enough information to make entry into the home until the discovery of the first child’s body. Cannon called the killings a senseless tragedy.
Eight people were found dead inside a home in north Houston Saturday night. Police officers entered the home after receiving a call asking them to perform a welfare check on the residents. Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) deputies entered the home after seeing a dead child lying on the floor when looking through the windows of the home.
No one answered the door when deputies arrived at the house, HCSO spokesman Thomas Gilliand told KHOU reporters on the scene. Deputies learned that one of the residents, David Conley, aged 49, had a warrant out for his arrest (see document attached below).
David Ray Conley, III, who has a lengthy criminal record that included several cases of domestic violence, a search of court records by Breitbart Texas revealed. That record includes felony and misdemeanor charges of assault on a family member, a felony charge of retaliation, felony possession of crack cocaine, felony robbery charges, evading arrest, criminal trespass, and felony auto theft. His criminal record in Harris County dates back to 1988. He has been seen before judges in at least six different misdemeanor and felony courts in Houston.
