Five found dead in Leon Co. home; Deaths may be linked to escaped convicted killer LopezA convicted murderer on the run was fatally shot by law enforcement late Thursday after he killed a family of five and stole their truck from a rural weekend cabin, a Texas prison system spokesman said.
Lopez was killed in an exchange of gunfire about 220 miles southeast of Centerville, Texas, where Clark earlier said Lopez had killed the Houston family. Lopez was believed to have driven the truck from the search area, he said. Lopez was a former member of the Mexican Mafia prison gang and had ties to South Texas, he said.
Centerville is the county seat of Leon County, which has roughly 16,000 residents and is about 50 miles north of the state's Huntsville prison headquarters.
