Kaufman County slayings timeline
DECEMBER 2012: The Texas Department of Public Safety issues a statewide bulletin warning that authorities had received credible information that the Aryan Brotherhood was actively planning retaliation against law enforcement officials who helped secure indictments in Houston against dozens of members, including the gangs leadership.
JAN. 31: Kaufman County prosecutor Mark Hasse is shot and killed while getting out of his car near the county courthouse. Authorities acknowledge they are investigating the possibility of a link between the slaying and the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang. However, they quickly add that to their knowledge, Hasse was not currently handling any cases involving Aryan Brotherhood members. They say that labeling the organization the focus of their probe would be premature.
FEB. 9: At a memorial service for Hasse, Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland vows that the prosecutors killers will be brought to justice.

SATURDAY: McLelland and his wife, Cynthia Woodward McLelland, are found fatally shot at their home.
