On November 15, 2015, 21-year-old Austin Kamp of Tennessee Colony, Texas, was shot to death while on a camping trip with family. The attack also killed his father, Thomas Kamp, 45; his brother, Nathan Kamp, 23; and 6-year-old Kade Johnson. Cynthia Johnson, the wife of Carl Johnson, survived by hiding until dawn and then calling for help.

William Hudson, 33, of Anderson County, Texas, was arrested the same day. Prosecutors said Hudson resented the sale of the land to the Kamp family and charged him with the murders. The case was moved from Anderson County to Bryan, Texas. Defense witnesses described prior seizures, car accidents and alcohol abuse they said caused brain damage; the prosecution argued Hudson had a personality disorder rather than a mental illness. Hudson was convicted on three counts of capital murder and sentenced to death after a brief jury deliberation.

Anyone who knew Austin, the Kamp family, or the events at the campsite is asked to share information or memories.
