Community honors victims of escaped Texas killer

TOMBALL, Texas — A Texas community gathered Friday night to honor a young man killed by an escaped inmate this summer.

Carson Collins was 16 years old when he, alongside four other family members, was murdered by Gonzalo Lopez at their ranch in Centerville.

Lopez escaped in May during a prison transport after assaulting a corrections officer and hijacking the bus.

On June 2, authorities said Lopez killed the Collins family, stole their truck and made his way to a rural area near San Antonio.

Lopez was later killed in a shootout with authorities, police said.

Collins' No. 5 jersey was presented to his parents, with attendees and players wearing 'Collins Strong' bracelets.
