That is the problem with "holiday houses".
One never knows who might break into and live there.
Sometimes, the neighbours look after such houses.

It's disgusting. I'm heartsick he was not captured sooner and these people paid with their lives.Wow. I got the impression this occurred well after he escaped, but this just happened.
Heartsick is the right word for this. Basically, the worst-case scenario came true.It's disgusting. I'm heartsick he was not captured sooner and these people paid with their lives.
My opinion is he probably headed there first chance he got.But he wasn't in a hurry in "his way to Mexico".
I thought that as a member of mafia, he knew all illegal ways to Mexico.My opinion is he probably headed there first chance he got.
I am guessing he laid low in empty buildings in the area for awhile, maybe to heal from possible injuries he got during the escape.
I think LE knew from their informant network that he had not left the area yet, and that’s why they kept the focus local.
But somehow, some way, he was undetectable until the welfare check less than 24 hoys ago.
It seems there was a perfect storm at this country house when the victims encountered him yesterday. It’s awful on so many levels.
When officers arrived at the residence around 6 p.m., they discovered the bodies of one adult and four minors.
Gonzalo Lopez, 46, was killed about 10:30 p.m. Thursday in Jourdanton, Texas, about 35 miles south of San Antonio, said Jason Clark, spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
From your link, there were children. BBMGoogle tells me it takes 4 hours 21 minutes (253 mi) to drive from Centerville to Jordanton.
News said bodies were found around 6 pm last night, and he was dead around 10:30.
He wasn’t that far ahead of them.
TDCJ: Escaped inmate Gonzalo Lopez is dead after police shootout
Convicted murderer on the run since escaping prison bus killed in shootout with police after slaying family of five, authorities say
“We are beyond devastated,” wrote the brother-in-law of the grandfather on Facebook. “The victims of the escaped convict near Centerville were my bother-in-law and 4 great nephews, his grand children. The kids aged in range from 11-18. The oldest just graduated high school last week. The loss is unbearable.”
I was thinking it must have been a grandparent and grandchildren when they corrected the story to be 1 adult and 4 minors. I can't imagine the horror for that innocent family; they must be devastated. Ugh. Thanks for the link.4 Tomball students, grandfather killed by Texas inmate in ambush are identified by authorities

I don't understand why he killed all of them???I was thinking it must have been a grandparent and grandchildren when they corrected the story to be 1 adult and 4 minors. I can't imagine the horror for that innocent family; they must be devastated. Ugh. Thanks for the link.
He was trying to make it back to Mexico, and if the family came to the house and saw him, and he let them live, they would've called police and he most likely would have been swiftly apprehended. Witnesses are a liability, and unfortunately he had no qualms with killing those who disrupted his plans, as evidenced by his previous criminal history. MOO.I don't understand why he killed all of them???
There are numerous posts on this page that verify that info with direct links as required by Websleuths.I've been looking to verify this but correct me if I am wrong. I saw one small piece this morning saying GL was killed during a gun fight after stealing a truck from a family and killing the family. If someone can find a good factual source, please share. IMHO It is tragic that (if true) he felt the need to kill these innocent people.
