Carlos Eugene Delaney, 74, of Livingston, Texas, was one of five people shot to death on February 11, 2019, at the Delaney ranch in Polk County. Born June 11, 1944, in Sicily Island, Louisiana, Carlos owned a construction business and helped build the City Hall Pavilion in Patton Village. He was found dead alongside his wife Lynda Delaney; granddaughter Ashley Delaney Horn; her husband Randy J. Horn; and their 15-month-old baby Ranley Jo Horn.

Authorities from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers investigated the mass shooting and collected evidence while awaiting autopsy results to establish the sequence of events. The family was prominent locally: Lynda served as a city councilwoman and former mayor, and the deaths deeply affected the community.

Who in the area might have information about the Delaney family or what happened at the ranch that morning?
