Texas man kills ex who once dubbed him ‘best father in the whole world,' her husband, 6 kids: deputies
Aug. 10, 2015
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.

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.

A deputy discovered the mass killing during a 9 p.m. Saturday welfare check after peering through a window and seeing a child’s body on the floor.
Conley surrendered to authorities late Saturday after exchanging a flurry of gunfire with deputies who discovered the mass killing.

Authorities say they believe Conley targeted the children’s mother over their snuffed relationship.

Conley is being held at a Harris County jail on multiple capital murder charges—the latest arrest mark on his criminal arrest sheet dating back to 1988.

His record includes arrests for car theft, driving while under the influence of alcohol, robbery threats, trespassing, cocaine possession and retaliation.

Court records reveal a tumultuous past between Conley and Valerie Jackson. A scattering of domestic assaults began in 2000, when Conley threatened to kill his then-girlfriend and her child by wrapping an electrical cord around the baby’s neck. He was sentenced to five years in prison.

Years later, Conley was sentenced to nine months in prison for an April 2013 assault against a family member — only to earn the title of “best father in the whole world” on Jackson’s Facebook page that same year.

“My baby, my best friend, my forever,” Valerie Jackson wrote of her would-be alleged killer. “You have always have put me and our kids ahead of yourself And always take care of home! We love you David Ray Conley III!”

Jackson spoke fondly of Conley and appeared to be hopeful of their relationship in 2014.

“Thank goodness I’m married to (MacGyver) lol. I think he found the culprit of my washer troubles,” Jackson wrote. She tagged Conley on the post.

Their relationship most recently took another downturn when Conley was arrested July 8 for another alleged assault.

He allegedly bashed Jackson’s head into a refrigerator as she tried to wrestle a belt away from Conley, the Houston Chronicle reported, citing court documents.

He intended to beat one of her children with it as punishment, authorities say.

Saturday’s melee left neighbors frightened at the sound of gunshots and then the sight of armed law enforcement officials going door-to-door.

"Cops were walking around with their handguns out, telling people to remain in their houses. They were also telling them to evacuate. It was extremely scary," said Alan Cartagena, 19.
