Texas man kills ex who once dubbed him ‘best father in the whole world,' her husband, 6 kids

A Texas man broke into his ex’s home, handcuffed her alongside her husband and her six young children — including his own son — and fatally shot each victim in the head, authorities said.

David Ray Conley admitted to the grisly murders after Harris County deputies found the eight family members dead inside their Houston home Saturday, authorities said.

Victim Valerie Jackson once dubbed the 49-year-old the “best father in the whole world” before their relationship soured, forcing her to kick Conley out of her house and change the locks, fearing her ex. It's not clear if the two were ever married.


The 40-year-old mom and her husband, 50-year-old Dwayne Jackson, were identified as the adult victims.

                                          

Dwayne Jackson Jr. was killed along with his family in Houston.

The slain children are 13-year-old Nathaniel Conley — the son of Conley and Valerie Jackson — and five more of her kids: Honesty Jackson, 11, Dwayne Jackson Jr., 10, Caleb Jackson, 9, Trinity Jackson, 7, and Jonah Jackson, 6.

"We do not — cannot — fully comprehend the motivation of an individual that would take the lives of so many innocent people. Especially the lives of the youngest," Harris County Chief Deputy Tim Cannon said Sunday.

Deputies said Conley broke into the Jacksons’ home through a window. The 49-year-old slapped handcuffs on each of the victims and shot them in the back of their heads, they said.

           
              Dwayne Jackson Sr., 50, and Valerie Jackson, 40, were identified as the adults killed in the Texas home.
