It was the grandfather and 4 grandsons who were murdered. The grandmother and parents of these boys must be in disbelief. I couldnt fathom being in their shoes. Seriously, how on earth do you ever function in life after this tragedy within the family? These crimes seem to be happening way too often. When is the madness going to end? Enough already! Leave innocent people alone!

This is truly sad. 300 law enforcement officers plus dogs, drones, and helicopters and they couldn't find him and he was 1 mile away from the crash site. If there was any evidence saying that he was still in the area then the community should have been notified. The TDOJ should be ashamed of themselves. 3 minors and 2 adults are now dead.
just another administrative failure that got more people killed dur to their non performance. the count is now up to 27 dead texans from administrative incompetence. gregg abott this is unacceptable performance. fix this or we will get someone who will.
@@Michael_J_M14 😱😱😱 you would think the cops would have tried to check the house to see if it too had been robbed or let the community know the inmate may still be in the area and to be cautious. All I heard prior to the murders was that he may have already left Texas and was probably in Mexico! Poor family, you really can't trust what comes out of law enforcement, we have to rely in our own judgment.

He was in that house the whole time I bet, then they came to their vacation home all of a sudden and he was already there I bet! Poor poor boys, I can’t even imagine what their parents are going through, they lost all their sons and one of the parents parents! So so sad!
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Since it was their summer ranch house, I’m sure it was empty. He was in there, just hanging out, and then the grandfather and his grandsons came up there to relax, and he murdered them. (Of course, I’m just guessing. They haven’t released the details, so I’m just speculating.)

Amen. It reminds me of Silence of the Lambs. This whole tragedy sounds so unbelievable that it must be a script for a horror movie and yet it actually happened. I am stunned and dismayed and my heart truly aches for the family members who are left to endure their unbearable pain.💔
The blood of this innocent precious family is on the hands of every law enforcement officer responsible for containing this beast. The local officials failed miserably. I am so sorry for the surviving family members. This should never ever have happened.
I'm with you 100% When will all this end?? Every Day there is yet More Mass Murder... We are living in Critical Times.. this is why we should all turn back to our Creator, Allah.. we only Live in this world for 1 purpose,. That is to worship Allah.. and anything else and we have Failed at Life.. that Little kidd and all the Kids who Die or are Killed,, they're Not Dead, rather they're Alive but we perceive it not.

@ Sharon....Policemen are no different than you and I. They are human beings. They don't have superpowers. However this man escaped isn't clear to me but....the blame for the murders lies soley on the person that committed this heinous act. The police did not kill the family. How would you enjoy having a job where every sin committed by the people you deal with is attributed to you?! That's what you're saying.
@@kaycampbell8532 My father was a policeman. He knew what he was doing in all instances. He knew where the problems were amongst his colleagues . He passed his knowledge and wisdom onto his family ,friends and coworkers.
I do not know the victims, but tears are in my eyes. May they RIEP with the angels and their family be comforted. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.
@@honeybunch5765 I agree The escape is sketchy from Reliable Sources but surprisingly this Maniac was still in the same area He escaped from. We all thought He was long gone Myself included but He was going back and forth between 2 Vacant Cabins. The one where He Massacred 5 people, stole their Guns and Vehicle when they arrived. LE not sure but believe it was the Texas Rangers lifted His DNA. So it was an Epic Failure by Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies who told Residents He was not in the area and as a result I believe 4 Children and 1 Adult were Massacred.
@@honeybunch5765 I am not in Law Enforcement but I will say when a Family came up on the van He allegedly drove after Stabbing the guard in the Front the Guard in the back shot the tires out as there were 15 Prisoners on that Bus to two guards? Plus the Psycho does not add up. When this Woman stopped they saw Him running away yet She saw no guards outside of that Bus who Allegedly shot at Him as He was fleeing. So Yes it damn well Stinks to High Heaven however and Myself included thought oh He is Mexican Mob with big connections LMFAO. He was a Loser hiding in the same area. I will give You an example from Canada of a Professional escape. The Son of a major Biker in Quebec made it to the roof and was hoisted on to a Helicopter and bye bye. Criminals are Weird Cats not like Us. This Moron can't recall how long He was on the Lam but He actually swear to God turned Himself in. Messed up Eh?. A lot of People have a lot of explaining to do over this Atrocity. Tragic loss of 5 Innocent People. Dear God 💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How did he kill them all? Who gave him a weapon? So unbelievable that one guy was able to take them all out with his bare hands without any help. How could he possibly go unnoticed from the jump. He broke out of handcuffs and shackles, cut through the bus barrier to surprise attack 2 armed officers in order to hijack the bus then disappears in to the woods and happens to locate an empty home one mile away within law enforcements so called search perimeter without anyone spotting him? He's then able to meet all of his basic needs, actually lives comfortably rent free for an entire month until he singlehandedly takes the lives of 5 men/boys. WTF is REALLY going on? I need the whole story bc this one doesn't make sense.
I believe he had help with escaping. No way a man that dangerous was so carelessly supervised that he could have escaped alone without help. But then again...
@@TheSouthIsHot I'm pretty sure its gonna end up being someone not following proper policy. Bad strip/property search. If they followed policy to the letter 100% of the time, this would never happened. But in doing so, the unit would come to a screeching halt, as they are sooooo short staffed it scares the crap outa me.
This is beyond heartbreaking! This man seems like he was an amazing grandfather, and those boys had their whole lives ahead of them! Only an evil monster to do this! I’m sick of mental illness arguments! Pure evil is NOT mental illness!
I’m so freaking sick of this shit too. EVIL kill them bastards when they cause that much trouble. I’m sorry but go back to the hold days of hanging their butts by rope in front of the whole community that we’ll teach people to maybe be more afraid and not so quick to be so evil. I worry everywhere I go that there’s evil somewhere lurking.
@wally john that's an odd conclusion to come to simply because she complimented the people that actually were murdered and not made up victims of some non-existent crime that you made up. You're ridiculously petty.
This is so freaking horrible..He didn't have to kill them, he could jus took what he wanted and left ...I feel so sorry for their family..Prayers will be going up for them..😓💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Texas Department of Corrections has blood on their hands! Many prayers for for this extended family. I can’t imagine the grief that they are suffering. I pray that God will envelop them and give them the peace and comfort that only He can provide. I don’t know these people, nor any of the victims of Uvalde, but I hope they know that they are loved and we are grieving with them and for them.
I think it's actually even worse. I heard on the local news that police were aware that he had broken into the property next door, but didn't alert people that he was in the area still.
He had handcuff keys or some kind of makeshift handcuff keys. Handcuff keys work for handcuffs and leg irons. Believe me I put handcuffs and leg irons on and off inmates all the time.
Wiped out a whole family within spitting distance of his escape! Texas Law Enforcement is a pathetic joke at this point!!! 21 days !!! This maniac is right under their nose!!!
How about another small community in Texas, with a violent escaped convict on the loose for 3 weeks ? Same thing seems to me that the innocent pay the price for an incompetent police force
Christ almighty, what is happening to our country? I cannot even imagine, I don't know if anyone has the strength to handle this kind of horror. This is just too much for anyone to bare.
Open borders and voting for dems & Gop EST- Trump won Border would be closed GOP est dnc Paul Ryan refused to close border and ran from angel mom's Get rid of Dems& Gop est if you want this to stop Wall& threaten Mexico if they don't close their borders
He was very evil and ruthless to kill these 5 innocent souls. He could just tied or locked them up in a room if he needed time to escape in their truck without killing them. A really heartbreaking and senseless act. RIP to the grandpa and young boys🙏
@@Blox117 No he was a hitman and carried out a pix ax murder for a Mexican drug cartel. These deaths were not ordered by the cartel, but the original question was he could've locked them up. Unfortunately when you're doing hits for the cartel and facing life in prison you place little value on human life.
How in the hell could the owner of this house not be tracked down beforehand and warned on the situation! An empty house should easily have been a main focus. This house was super close by to the direction he was last seen running. And running (in an open field) and not be chased. This is almost as unbelievable as the actions taken with the Texas school shooting..
He was a mexican mafia member, that's exactly who our president is letting across the border everyday it gets a little worse I'm gonna bet within a year we see alot more of this
they know how to keep prisoners in chains. ..that non man had help.....it's utterly disgusting...its always the guards who help..or someone of importance
Sick piece of trash that did this to these innocent individuals. I don't understand why this is happening in Texas especially with all the guns that people own in this state.
Exactly! and he was on foot they should’ve warned all Texan residents before go to their vacation homes contact police to check the place out heartbreaking 💔 God bless the victims and family
I personally blame the authorities for allowing this idiot nutcase to escape the blood of the family is on their shoes the authorities they caused this and I hope the family of these victims sue the living hell out of the state I don't even want to call him a human being because I don't believe he was I kept hoping some individual would have seen this person before he killed anybody and taking him out themselves
Certainly, this begs the question: Why is it that so many dangerous people can escape so easily? In some cases it is almost as though they are encouraged to just walk out. Euthanazia would have been a better option in this case, a family would still be intact ,and a wad of taxpayer's money would have been saved. Such brutal murderers do not deserve our sympathy in any way, shape or form, some are so evil, they will never change, no matter what.
The family should get the reward because if the truck was the only way they got him so show them the money for the cops that Search that house should be fired
😢 It’s so horrible to see that a grandfather can’t even go take his grandchildren to spend time with them, when some psychopathic criminal will come and take your life, and your loved ones lives away. My condolences, and prayers to the family and friends of those lost.🙏🏽
Heartbreaking so very sorry for this family. Such a beautiful family:( not fair. So sad seeing all the violence and children dying at such young ages. Please everyone be safe.
This is so heartbreaking!! I can’t believe having to burry all your kids. America keep getting worse and worse. May their soul rest in perfect peace!!! I have to say the prison authorities and the person in charge of this fugitive definitely have blood on their hands. The did a terrible job!! They kept saying their intelligence was telling them this ANIMAL was around yet they failed to capture for good 21 days him until the killed 5 innocent people.
@Storytime with Mamabear there was more than a driver - the other guard jumped out the back AFTER the driver was stabbed & shot out the tires of the bus which is why it crashed. They never bothered to shoot the escaping prisoner as is protocol.
And they say he heroically shot the back tires, why didn't he chase after him, somebody needs to be accountable or put in jail from the department of corrections
This is heartbreaking!! Y'all, the neighbors were live on DutyRon tonight and talked about things. They also talked some last night too. This is so heartbreaking!
This is so painful to see. My heart breaks for the family. What beautiful boys. Prayers for the family to be comforted by the Lord. May whoever helped Gonzalo Lopez escape be caught and brought to real justice.
Well prayers for the family the devil is on the loose if they would of ben armed maybe a diffetent outcome but we dont have to feed him for yrs while he burns in hell
I immediately burst into tears the moment I looked into those beautiful big blue angel eyes of this little boy. BRUTAL! Prayers for the families and loved ones of these victims. RIP
Why did they not run after him when he ran into the woods you could clearly see him run into the grass... not one officer ran after him... they should have shot fire at him. Why didn't the police lock down that area and close all roads and knock on all doors. This is such a tragedy, the police did nothing
I totally agree with Andy. The home and property should have been checked out before the family went out there. You can’t make sense out of things like this. But I can say that demon that killed them is burning in hell right now! God Bless the family. You are truly in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
The house was a vacation home that was vacant most of the time. Can LE break into a vacant home without a warrant to search it? I think that's beyond their power.
@@xuimod what I think I said was I as the person going to this said vacant home most of the time, I would have requested it be checked out before I went there….
At the very least they should give that capture money to the victims family to help cover funeral costs and such. The police really screwed this one up badly.
It was in the news every day both locally and nationally but it’s possible they didn’t watch the news. This is awful and I pray for peace for the Collins family. As far as the murderer I’m glad his time on this earth has ended.
Well, I certainly had NO IDEA we had an escaped convict as we were watching this so I'm sure they most likely were not prepared either. G-d comfort this family!!
I live about 3 miles from this family’s home and it was pretty much just normal after the first week, hardly any police presence. We all believed he was long gone too.
Because he wasn't. Being part of a gang doesn't actually make you a Cartel member. Laughable that a Cartel would leave a member to fend for themselves for that long.
@@musashi-san____1409 You're pretty f'n ignorant. Here's the report on his previous conviction for capital murder: "Gonzalo Lopez, 46, has hidden from law enforcement before. His history includes shooting at a deputy in 2004 and killing a man with a pickax on cartel orders. Lopez was able to hide in Mexico with the help of the La Mana drug cartel from Tamaulipas, Mexico."
So Heartbreaking, such handsome young men and their grandpa. I feel for both sets of parents of the 4 boys. I just can't imagine what they are going through the heartache and pain, of the Mother's and Father's. Losing all 3 of your sons at one time, plus their nephew. Their grandma losing her husband and her 4 grandsons., My Deepest Condolences to All the families. Sending Comforting Prayers to All in this time of Sorrow. May they all R.I.P. 🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏
They should have sent amber alerts and gone door to door in area. Within a certain radius. My heart hurts for the victims and family. God help us all, the world is going insane! There’s so little empathy for others.
I can't even watch this! MY heart is broken! I can't even begin to think about what the previous families ate going through!!! Lord please comfort them. Comfort can't even be a word I should use. I'm gonna find a trusted place to donate and put my money where my HEART is.🙏❤️
If law enforcement had put out more information there's no way this man would have taken his grand kids to that area. This was a failure by authorities from the bus crash to the final shootout.
I hope this tragedy changes the way they transport these murders. With all the law enforcement that's sitting on the side of the road how the F doesn't one of them follow a prison bus with the worst prisoners possible. I would think its mandatory that there escorted by a sheriff unit or a trooper in case something happens like this.
Omg what a beautiful family. My condolences to all the families.. authorities wait until it get to this to find this man. Someone need to be held responsible y’all should have warned these people
Such a horrific tragedy. Poor family. Can’t imagine the terror of the kids and the grandfather knowing he couldn’t protect his grandsons. Small solace for the family but at least the pos murderer was killed.
this is what happens when you house murderers and send the bill to the tax payers . tax payers cannot get free medical but convicted murderers can. this happens when you don't execute murderers. they get loose to kill again. this is a tragedy beyond what should have happened to this family
Oh my goodness. I'm in so much pain, this is heartbreaking. I can't imagine what the family are going through right now. What an evil evil man to kill those babies. R.I.P
Texas. You know what needs to be done. Lead the way for the rest of the nation. When good people can’t live in peace and safety, then it’s time to go back to the old ways. So sorry for this family.
How horrific... My heart and prayers are with the family... I'm so sorry for your loss... I just don't have words to express how horrible it must be...
TDCJ failed the community and the Collins family. Sorry untrained correctional officer who conducted the strip search to the transport officers who failed to stop the escape are responsible. I’m so disappointed with all the Law Enforcement Agencies that watched the inmate get away with giving any chase. I could go on and on. I’m praying for the Collins family.
I know this was a summer home, but I wish so badly they would have had some sort of cameras where they could have watched that house from their home, so they could have had eyes on it while they were not there and it would have alerted them way before hand. They could have seen his every move inside and outside their house. My family has alittle cabin home on a lake and thats the whole reason we put cameras up. Cameras now days are literally saving peoples lives from robbers, animals, fires and more. This is just so unfair and so devastatingly heartbreaking! This should have never happened! Why weren't the police looking pacificly in summer/ranch homes like this to begin with? Especially, if the town wasn't even that big? My heart just aches for their parents and family! May they all rest in peace together, forever! 💔🙏
The corrections department that recklessly transported this inmate along with all other inmates on that bus with no car following along with some of the law inforcement who allowed this evil man escape then unable to catch him need to be held accountable, what a horrific nightmare this poor family is facing now having lost a grandfather and 4 grandchildren.....something really bad about this how situation this monster conveniently cut thru shackles and steel door all the while a corrections officer was back there how could he had missed this ,and local authorities should have been continuously been updating the public until he was captured so many mistakes!!!!!!!
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but this is why the deth penalty needs to not drag out so long and needs to be swift when it comes to people who have a record like his. I don't know if he was on his way to jail or being moved to another one but whatever it was things need to change now.
One of the saddest thing is, this was more than preventable. The man was a murderous fugitive and you didn’t somehow shut down the area! Never mind all of that because how was he able to get away from the start considering how dangerous he was?Beyond heartbreaking.

@ Sharon....Policemen are no different than you and I. They are human beings. They don't have superpowers. However this man escaped isn't clear to me but....the blame for the murders lies soley on the person that committed this heinous act. The police did not kill the family. How would you enjoy having a job where every sin committed by the people you deal with is attributed to you?! That's what you're saying.
@@kaycampbell8532 My father was a policeman. He knew what he was doing in all instances. He knew where the problems were amongst his colleagues . He passed his knowledge and wisdom onto his family ,friends and coworkers.
I do not know the victims, but tears are in my eyes. May they RIEP with the angels and their family be comforted. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.
I can't stop crying this was preventable from the get go.💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙀
@@kellywark5149 how? His escape was well planned and assisted, I want to see them now find the people helping this vile human escape.
@@honeybunch5765 I agree The escape is sketchy from Reliable Sources but surprisingly this Maniac was still in the same area He escaped from. We all thought He was long gone Myself included but He was going back and forth between 2 Vacant Cabins. The one where He Massacred 5 people, stole their Guns and Vehicle when they arrived. LE not sure but believe it was the Texas Rangers lifted His DNA. So it was an Epic Failure by Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies who told Residents He was not in the area and as a result I believe 4 Children and 1 Adult were Massacred.
@@honeybunch5765 I am not in Law Enforcement but I will say when a Family came up on the van He allegedly drove after Stabbing the guard in the Front the Guard in the back shot the tires out as there were 15 Prisoners on that Bus to two guards? Plus the Psycho does not add up. When this Woman stopped they saw Him running away yet She saw no guards outside of that Bus who Allegedly shot at Him as He was fleeing. So Yes it damn well Stinks to High Heaven however and Myself included thought oh He is Mexican Mob with big connections LMFAO. He was a Loser hiding in the same area. I will give You an example from Canada of a Professional escape. The Son of a major Biker in Quebec made it to the roof and was hoisted on to a Helicopter and bye bye. Criminals are Weird Cats not like Us. This Moron can't recall how long He was on the Lam but He actually swear to God turned Himself in. Messed up Eh?. A lot of People have a lot of explaining to do over this Atrocity. Tragic loss of 5 Innocent People. Dear God 💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why was a dangerous criminal like that handled so carelessly..???
Police were too busy dealing with Covid.
How did he kill them all? Who gave him a weapon? So unbelievable that one guy was able to take them all out with his bare hands without any help. How could he possibly go unnoticed from the jump. He broke out of handcuffs and shackles, cut through the bus barrier to surprise attack 2 armed officers in order to hijack the bus then disappears in to the woods and happens to locate an empty home one mile away within law enforcements so called search perimeter without anyone spotting him? He's then able to meet all of his basic needs, actually lives comfortably rent free for an entire month until he singlehandedly takes the lives of 5 men/boys. WTF is REALLY going on? I need the whole story bc this one doesn't make sense.
Criminals don’t follow the laws that’s what happened
I believe he had help with escaping. No way a man that dangerous was so carelessly supervised that he could have escaped alone without help. But then again...
@@TheSouthIsHot I'm pretty sure its gonna end up being someone not following proper policy. Bad strip/property search. If they followed policy to the letter 100% of the time, this would never happened. But in doing so, the unit would come to a screeching halt, as they are sooooo short staffed it scares the crap outa me.
Maybe he hid and waited for Nightime Wen they went to bed and shot them ?? Shame not even 1 got away but
I believe the guns were from the home he was hiding in, I also strongly believe his escape was an inside job, those guards need to be investigated.
This is beyond heartbreaking! This man seems like he was an amazing grandfather, and those boys had their whole lives ahead of them! Only an evil monster to do this! I’m sick of mental illness arguments! Pure evil is NOT mental illness!
I agree with you 💯!!
I'm with you on this!
I’m so freaking sick of this shit too. EVIL kill them bastards when they cause that much trouble. I’m sorry but go back to the hold days of hanging their butts by rope in front of the whole community that we’ll teach people to maybe be more afraid and not so quick to be so evil. I worry everywhere I go that there’s evil somewhere lurking.
If his ass was already dead he wouldn’t have been able to do this!!!!!! No 2 nd chances period!!!!
@@brendabrooks9699 Exactly Brenda!!
They said they're investigating the shooting of him. Why? He's not worth his name being mentioned ever again.
This makes me sick. That this family was murdered . look how beautiful they were.
What have looks got to do with anything! So vain!
@wally john that's an odd conclusion to come to simply because she complimented the people that actually were murdered and not made up victims of some non-existent crime that you made up.
You're ridiculously petty.
This is so freaking horrible..He didn't have to kill them, he could jus took what he wanted and left ...I feel so sorry for their family..Prayers will be going up for them..😓💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Keep your prayers
So, you condone theft?
@@auroramothergoddess Jesús lover 🍻
I ask myself that same question in cases like these. Those young kids 😢 may they walk with Jesus now
@@DarronSanderson theft was much better than murder, duh.
Texas Department of Corrections has blood on their hands!
Many prayers for for this extended family. I can’t imagine the grief that they are suffering. I pray that God will envelop them and give them the peace and comfort that only He can provide.
I don’t know these people, nor any of the victims of Uvalde, but I hope they know that they are loved and we are grieving with them and for them.
I think it's actually even worse. I heard on the local news that police were aware that he had broken into the property next door, but didn't alert people that he was in the area still.
This is horrible.. senseless....
It is senseless knowing Cops could’ve shot him dead right the moment he ran. Tx cops are chicken
Your Darn Right!
What a beautiful family such an unimaginable and devastating loss
LORD, COMFORT THIS FAMILY IN JESUS' NAME
Jesus isn't real and God isn't real, you are literally insane.
Amen and Amen 🙏
The picture of that guy running off from the bus shows NO leg irons.
He had handcuff keys or some kind of makeshift handcuff keys. Handcuff keys work for handcuffs and leg irons. Believe me I put handcuffs and leg irons on and off inmates all the time.
this dude just wiped out a families bloodline.....that poor poor family. this is insane. who the FUCK let him loose....
Damn even more cold when you put it like that. It’s sad and crazy. This is why I avoid humans. People are scum.
The EVIL IN THIS WORLD IS UNSPEAKABLE !!! MY HEART IS BROKEN FOR AAALL INVOLVED !!! 😢😢😢❤❤ ❤ 👼 👼 👼 👼 👼
Yes ! It's hard for me to process...How evil how vile how demonic. LORD have mercy!
Where did he get the guns
You're right! America was built off of evil! America's chickens are coming home to roost!🤣🤣🤣
Well, anyone can get a gun in this country.
My prayers are with the family. There is no words for this loss, my heart breaks and tears are with the families.
Wiped out a whole family within spitting distance of his escape! Texas Law Enforcement is a pathetic joke at this point!!! 21 days !!! This maniac is right under their nose!!!
STOP GAS LIGHTING SHEEP. DEMOCRAP SHEEP ARE COMPLETELY "STUPID" AT THIS POINT.
Incompetent POLICE
Prayers for the family of the 5 murder victims. Rest in peace.
My heart goes out to this family.those dangerous escapees are evil
How about another small community in Texas, with a violent escaped convict on the loose for 3 weeks ? Same thing seems to me that the innocent pay the price for an incompetent police force
Christ almighty, what is happening to our country? I cannot even imagine, I don't know if anyone has the strength to handle this kind of horror. This is just too much for anyone to bare.
Open borders and voting for dems & Gop EST-
Trump won
Border would be closed
GOP est dnc
Paul Ryan refused to close border and ran from angel mom's
Get rid of Dems& Gop est if you want this to stop
Wall& threaten Mexico if they don't close their borders
Such a beautiful family..Unthinkable tragedy. GOD BLESS ALL.
Damn💔
No - not unthinkable - it was a PREVENTABLE tragedy courtesy of an incompetent Texas department of corrections.
He was very evil and ruthless to kill these 5 innocent souls. He could just tied or locked them up in a room if he needed time to escape in their truck without killing them. A really heartbreaking and senseless act. RIP to the grandpa and young boys🙏
EXACTLY! Just take their truck and go!
Unfortunately Cartel members don't care about sparing lives, including children. What a burden to bare; burying your sons and your Dad all at once.
@@boxesbinslidsllc nothing to do with cartel, just your typical taco person
there’re some really bad people out there and they don’t look at people at we do
@@Blox117 No he was a hitman and carried out a pix ax murder for a Mexican drug cartel. These deaths were not ordered by the cartel, but the original question was he could've locked them up. Unfortunately when you're doing hits for the cartel and facing life in prison you place little value on human life.
EVIL, EVIL, EVIL!!!!! This is pure evil. They need to find out who let him out.
They did not “let him out”. He escaped. It happens. Of course they made a mistake they will have to deal with that the rest of their lives.
He helped Himself to the exit door!!
leave these knuckleheads in their CELL and video-chat with the court... there's no need to bus murderers to court in 2022
How in the hell could the owner of this house not be tracked down beforehand
and warned on the situation! An empty house should easily have been a main
focus. This house was super close by to the direction he was last seen running.
And running (in an open field) and not be chased. This is almost as unbelievable
as the actions taken with the Texas school shooting..
It just never ends. How awful. Prayers!
A grandfather & 4 grandsons 😞 so the mother and father are alive? Unbearable. It just doesn’t make sense.
The devil is real
Why did he find the need to kill kids?????disgusting !
I know he could’ve tied them all up 😢
Wanted to leave no witnesses needed time to cross the border. They were old enough that they could have called the Incompetent Police
He was a mexican mafia member, that's exactly who our president is letting across the border everyday it gets a little worse I'm gonna bet within a year we see alot more of this
Prisoner transport must be more secure to prevent this type of tragedy from ever happening again 🙏
He had help from the inside.
Yes. Especially since he was known to escape before.
they know how to keep prisoners in chains. ..that non man had help.....it's utterly disgusting...its always the guards who help..or someone of importance
yo how'd they let him kill a family..in texas..that's why we all need guns
@@bigkidbarone8507 The family had guns. He killed the family with their own guns.
Sick piece of trash that did this to these innocent individuals. I don't understand why this is happening in Texas especially with all the guns that people own in this state.
Guess all those guns aren't stopping squat
@Storytime with Mamabear a mass shooting wa a just stopped
So hard to believe how he escaped
Exactly! and he was on foot they should’ve warned all Texan residents before go to their vacation homes contact police to check the place out heartbreaking 💔 God bless the victims and family
@@colleenlewis2780 they should have known already. This was nationwide news.
I personally blame the authorities for allowing this idiot nutcase to escape the blood of the family is on their shoes the authorities they caused this and I hope the family of these victims sue the living hell out of the state I don't even want to call him a human being because I don't believe he was I kept hoping some individual would have seen this person before he killed anybody and taking him out themselves
Certainly, this begs the question: Why is it that so many dangerous people can escape so easily? In some cases it is almost as though they are encouraged to just walk out. Euthanazia would have been a better option in this case, a family would still be intact ,and a wad of taxpayer's money would have been saved. Such brutal murderers do not deserve our sympathy in any way, shape or form, some are so evil, they will never change, no matter what.
Exactly. Sue them for every penny. They failed this family smh
I really feel for the family and friends. What can you say to them??? This never should have happened.
I can't even imagine the fear that family faced
The family should get the reward because if the truck was the only way they got him so show them the money for the cops that Search that house should be fired
😢 It’s so horrible to see that a grandfather can’t even go take his grandchildren to spend time with them, when some psychopathic criminal will come and take your life, and your loved ones lives away. My condolences, and prayers to the family and friends of those lost.🙏🏽
He can go on a trip-- just not fishing. It should have been a boot camp type week end with assault rifles....looking for convicts : ))
May the souls of this Grandfather and his beautiful grandsons rest in peace. Very heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking so very sorry for this family. Such a beautiful family:( not fair. So sad seeing all the violence and children dying at such young ages. Please everyone be safe.
Thank you You and your family too. God bless
They found him and he did this ,sad and prayers for healing of family going through this.
This is so heartbreaking!! I can’t believe having to burry all your kids. America keep getting worse and worse. May their soul rest in perfect peace!!!
I have to say the prison authorities and the person in charge of this fugitive definitely have blood on their hands. The did a terrible job!! They kept saying their intelligence was telling them this ANIMAL was around yet they failed to capture for good 21 days him until the killed 5 innocent people.
I agree with you : America keep getting worse and worse- So sad 😭😭😭! God have mercy on us 🙏🙏🙏
I know this families pain unfortunately
I’m leaving the end of the year
@Storytime with Mamabear there was more than a driver - the other guard jumped out the back AFTER the driver was stabbed & shot out the tires of the bus which is why it crashed. They never bothered to shoot the escaping prisoner as is protocol.
So so heartbreaking!! They didn't deserve this, I pray their community comes together during this time to comfort the family!!!🙏
And they say he heroically shot the back tires, why didn't he chase after him, somebody needs to be accountable or put in jail from the department of corrections
This is heartbreaking!! Y'all, the neighbors were live on DutyRon tonight and talked about things. They also talked some last night too. This is so heartbreaking!
The people who put this dude on that bus need to be held responsible.
100% SPOT ON
NO TRIAL … JUST ONTO THE GALLOWS
This is so painful to see. My heart breaks for the family. What beautiful boys. Prayers for the family to be comforted by the Lord. May whoever helped Gonzalo Lopez escape be caught and brought to real justice.
Other inmates probably helped him.
Well prayers for the family the devil is on the loose if they would of ben armed maybe a diffetent outcome but we dont have to feed him for yrs while he burns in hell
I can't wrap my head around this. No words. Rest easy, dear family 💔
Need to hold the prison responsible
How about the officers who were transporting him instead?
@@danhenderson5198 they are part of the prison
@@drcracinggarage8047 I thought a prison was a prison? How about holding those in charge of the prison responsible?

Why does the eye color of the victims matter? Strange comment!
Me too, I have not get over from the 21 kids and teachers’s dead and now this . I can’t take it anymore and it mess me up badly.
WHY ??? WHY????😪😪😪😪😪😪
@@cynamin922 you have issues 🙄 they have blue eyes and this person thinks that is beautiful,that's not weird,you are weird for thinking that way.
@@Kassie87 I’m not into glorifying body parts of a dead child.
So if he had big black eyes and was ugly you’re heart will not break ? Dumb comment u the typical looks are everything type duh
Why did they not run after him when he ran into the woods you could clearly see him run into the grass... not one officer ran after him... they should have shot fire at him. Why didn't the police lock down that area and close all roads and knock on all doors. This is such a tragedy, the police did nothing
I totally agree with Andy. The home and property should have been checked out before the family went out there. You can’t make sense out of things like this. But I can say that demon that killed them is burning in hell right now! God Bless the family. You are truly in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
The home had been checked several times by LE. But agree, I would have requested one more check before going in.
Had GL been hiding out in their home or like using their home as “his residence”?? Absolutely terrifying!
The house was a vacation home that was vacant most of the time. Can LE break into a vacant home without a warrant to search it? I think that's beyond their power.
Prayers don't do shit and "God" never does shit either. Thats why they are fuckin dead.
@@xuimod what I think I said was I as the person going to this said vacant home most of the time, I would have requested it be checked out before I went there….
At the very least they should give that capture money to the victims family to help cover funeral costs and such. The police really screwed this one up badly.
Exactly !! 😡😡
It was in the news every day both locally and nationally but it’s possible they didn’t watch the news. This is awful and I pray for peace for the Collins family. As far as the murderer I’m glad his time on this earth has ended.
It doesn't matter if they knew or not because the damn Justice people literally said go back to your normal lives
Well, I certainly had NO IDEA we had an escaped convict as we were watching this so I'm sure they most likely were not prepared either. G-d comfort this family!!
I live about 3 miles from this family’s home and it was pretty much just normal after the first week, hardly any police presence. We all believed he was long gone too.
It was on the news for a week then I couldn't even find any updates on it when I was checking recently
I didnt hear about it until just now
No one gonna talk about how a murderer from a Mexican Cartel was in the US.
Because he wasn't. Being part of a gang doesn't actually make you a Cartel member. Laughable that a Cartel would leave a member to fend for themselves for that long.
@@musashi-san____1409 You're pretty f'n ignorant. Here's the report on his previous conviction for capital murder: "Gonzalo Lopez, 46, has hidden from law enforcement before. His history includes shooting at a deputy in 2004 and killing a man with a pickax on cartel orders. Lopez was able to hide in Mexico with the help of the La Mana drug cartel from Tamaulipas, Mexico."
This breaks my heart. Just few days ago two men escaped from the county jail in my town and they still haven’t caught them.
What town do you live in
@@Danielle-ii8zc Central PA
They still haven’t got them. One was in jail for strangling someone. The other for theft.
So Heartbreaking, such handsome young men and their grandpa. I feel for both sets of parents of the 4 boys. I just can't imagine what they are going through the heartache and pain, of the Mother's and Father's. Losing all 3 of your sons at one time, plus their nephew. Their grandma losing her husband and her 4 grandsons.,
My Deepest Condolences to All the families. Sending Comforting Prayers to All in this time of Sorrow.
May they all R.I.P. 🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏
So sad. Until we get serious about securing the borders we will have more of this kind of tragedy. Horrible.
Yea the border around prisons!
They should have sent amber alerts and gone door to door in area. Within a certain radius. My heart hurts for the victims and family. God help us all, the world is going insane! There’s so little empathy for others.
Amber alerts are only for abducted children/minors
Exactly,once again these officers are failing the people
I can't even watch this! MY heart is broken! I can't even begin to think about what the previous families ate going through!!! Lord please comfort them. Comfort can't even be a word I should use. I'm gonna find a trusted place to donate and put my money where my HEART is.🙏❤️
This breaks my heart 💔 Someone needs to be held ACCOUNTABLE! Those parents just lost there ENTIRE FAMILY..
The family who lost the 5 should sue all police departments and corrections involved
If law enforcement had put out more information there's no way this man would have taken his grand kids to that area. This was a failure by authorities from the bus crash to the final shootout.
I hope this tragedy changes the way they transport these murders. With all the law enforcement that's sitting on the side of the road how the F doesn't one of them follow a prison bus with the worst prisoners possible. I would think its mandatory that there escorted by a sheriff unit or a trooper in case something happens like this.
Just lazy. Overweight, out of shape, scared lazy law enforcement officers.
Praying for the mother and family
I just don't understand how you go into your weekend home when you know there's a homicidal killer on the loose, wtf
Omg what a beautiful family. My condolences to all the families.. authorities wait until it get to this to find this man. Someone need to be held responsible y’all should have warned these people
R.I.P such a tragedy. So sad & horrible May they rest n peace prayers 🙏 for the family
Condolences to This Family
R.I.P..My,prayers & condolences goes out to the family & friends..
Such a horrific tragedy. Poor family. Can’t imagine the terror of the kids and the grandfather knowing he couldn’t protect his grandsons. Small solace for the family but at least the pos murderer was killed.
With all the good guys that have long gun. Did work…
this is what happens when you house murderers and send the bill to the tax payers . tax payers cannot get free medical but convicted murderers can. this happens when you don't execute murderers. they get loose to kill again. this is a tragedy beyond what should have happened to this family
Exactly.
Well said.
Why are we warehousing these miscreants. Dumping hard earned money into a bottomless pit of no promise.
Areggghhhhh!
So angry.
I've been saying the same thing for years.
Oh my goodness. I'm in so much pain, this is heartbreaking. I can't imagine what the family are going through right now. What an evil evil man to kill those babies. R.I.P
Oh shut up its not even your family
Texas.
You know what needs to be done.
Lead the way for the rest of the nation.
When good people can’t live in peace and safety, then it’s time to go back to the old ways.
So sorry for this family.
How horrific... My heart and prayers are with the family... I'm so sorry for your loss... I just don't have words to express how horrible it must be...
Praying for all families involved. This is so horrendous.
What’s sad is that the police didn’t let the people know at all he was in the area
They quietly swept it under the rug. To be blunt THEY JERKED OFF instead of doing their job! Texas Law Enforcement should be ashamed of themselves.
Condolences 💐 And Prayers.
TDCJ failed the community and the Collins family. Sorry untrained correctional officer who conducted the strip search to the transport officers who failed to stop the escape are responsible. I’m so disappointed with all the Law Enforcement Agencies that watched the inmate get away with giving any chase. I could go on and on. I’m praying for the Collins family.
And there are only questions left in these cases never answers.
This is horrifying. How could this happen? They let this pos roam free for 22 days.
I know this was a summer home, but I wish so badly they would have had some sort of cameras where they could have watched that house from their home, so they could have had eyes on it while they were not there and it would have alerted them way before hand. They could have seen his every move inside and outside their house. My family has alittle cabin home on a lake and thats the whole reason we put cameras up. Cameras now days are literally saving peoples lives from robbers, animals, fires and more. This is just so unfair and so devastatingly heartbreaking! This should have never happened! Why weren't the police looking pacificly in summer/ranch homes like this to begin with? Especially, if the town wasn't even that big? My heart just aches for their parents and family! May they all rest in peace together, forever! 💔🙏
God be with the family and friends.
If God was with the family he would have saved them!🤣🤣🤣🤣
While he’s there, he should explain to the family and friends why he allowed it to happen?
This is absolutely heartbreaking..so heartbreaking..I can't, I just can't...comprehend.. This is unreal.
The corrections department that recklessly transported this inmate along with all other inmates on that bus with no car following along with some of the law inforcement who allowed this evil man escape then unable to catch him need to be held accountable, what a horrific nightmare this poor family is facing now having lost a grandfather and 4 grandchildren.....something really bad about this how situation this monster conveniently cut thru shackles and steel door all the while a corrections officer was back there how could he had missed this ,and local authorities should have been continuously been updating the public until he was captured so many mistakes!!!!!!!
Small towns in Texas have gotten so comfortable because they're not used to dealing with crazy violent criminals and this is the result.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but this is why the deth penalty needs to not drag out so long and needs to be swift when it comes to people who have a record like his. I don't know if he was on his way to jail or being moved to another one but whatever it was things need to change now.
The most dangerous man is the man who has nothing to lose....🙄
