David Conley told Harris County Sheriff’s investigators that he broke into his former home and killed eight people, according to a Harris County prosecutor.
During probably cause court Sunday, a prosecutor recounted Conley’s statement to investigators that he broke in through an open window after the woman he formerly lived with, Valerie Jackson, changed the locks on the doors. The prosecutor went on to say Conley then told investigators that he restrained eight people inside, including Jackson and a 6-year-old boy, and shot them in the back of the head.
Doctors at the scene of the 2200 block of Falling Oaks, near Veterans Memorial and Fallbrook Drive, said all eight victims suffered gunshot wounds to the head and died at the scene.
Conley, who didn’t appear in court, has been charged with three counts of capital murder and had bond denied. One capital murder count covers multiple deaths. Another is for a person under 6 years old, according to court records. He was wanted on a warrant assault on a family member. He’s being held in the Harris County Jail.
Conley was arrested Saturday evening after a standoff with police in the 2200 block of Falling Oaks, not far from Veterans Memorial and Fallbrook Drive, after Harris County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the home for a welfare check.
After the standoff, deputies found five children and three adults dead inside the home.
