"Lopez was a former member of the Mexican Mafia prison gang and had ties to South Texas..."
Too bad we can not attrit more of these mafia members.
Prayers for families of the victims.
Good shooting, police. Too bad he wasn’t caught earlier.
“Illegal Immigrant kills family of 5 in order to steal their car”? I’ll bet this story doesn’t make resident Biden’s list of mass murders.
Knife killings?
“The department has said Lopez somehow freed himself from his hand and leg restraints, cut through the expanded metal of the cage and crawled from the bottom. He then attacked the driver, who stopped the bus and got into an altercation with Lopez, and they both eventually got off the bus.”
Sure. Someone got help and is responsible for the slaughtered family.
Interesting, considering the Mexican Mafia, is a California prison gang, started at DVI, Tracy, CA, in 1957. I guess they have associates in many states, including TX.
Later, the Mexican mafia, was known mostly as Surenos and Nuestra Familia, was the Nortenos. Not nice people.
So.....MS-13, then...
Wow. What a crazy ending to a bizarre story. I thought he’d somehow received help and was picked up after escaping. Amazing he went this long. It’s horrible that he took a family out before they got him- it seems lots of mistakes were made along the way by LE.
Good.
White Supremacy runs rampant in this nation.
It must end! /s
Hey Gonzalo Lopez. How’s the weather in your new eternal home?
… and the white supremists strike again.
Illegal or son of illegal?
The next time some dipshit liberal asks “why do people need to have guns?” cite this.

At least there’s one bit of good news today
‘We are devastated’: Five family members, including 4 Tomball ISD students, murdered near Centerville
(from the article)
TOMBALL, Texas — A family in the Tomball area is dealing with unimaginable grief after five family members, including four Tomball ISD students, were found murdered in a home near Centerville.
The victims were killed by escaped convict Gonzalo Lopez, according to the Leon County Sheriff. The convicted murderer had been on the run for more than three weeks.
The four boys were visiting their 66-year-old grandfather, Mark Collins, on his ranch off Highway 7. Three were brothers, 18-year-old Waylon Collins, 16-year-old Carson Collins and 11-year-old Hudson Collins. The fourth boy has been identified as 11-year-old Bryson Collins, a cousin.

‘Back to the drawing board’: TX escapee’s fingerprints found at home near killed family, sources say
Gonzalo Lopez, 46, reportedly got out of his restraints and cut through the metal cage of a prison bus on May 12, 2022.
Lopez managed to elude hundreds of searchers from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice since his escape from a cage and restraints as he was being transported on a bus to a doctor’s appointment on May 12. The department set up a perimeter in Leon County near Centerville. The search was pared back as the days dragged on and Lopez was believed to have left the area. A break-in earlier this week revealed that wasn’t the case.
According to ABC13 sources, authorities lifted fingerprints at a house along Highway 7 west I-45 that matched Lopez’s. Camouflage clothing and food was missing from the fridge. ABC13 was granted access to the property. It is adjacent to the ranch where Mark Collins and his four grandsons, brothers, Waylon, Carson and Hudson and their cousin, Bryson were killed.

Looks like he was one of them there refugees from Venezuela we’re supposed to love and care for.
(How in the world did he manage to cut through the metal cage of a prison bus? Did someone accidentally leave some bolt cutters back there or something?)
