Carl Johnson, a 77-year-old man from Tennessee Colony, Texas, was one of six people killed during a family camping trip on November 15, 2015. The group had gathered on property recently purchased from the family of William Hudson. The weekend turned deadly when William Hudson, 35, attacked the campsite and murdered multiple members of the party.

Carl was part of a blended family that included his wife, Cynthia Johnson, and daughter, Hannah Johnson. Cynthia hid during the attack and survived, later calling police. Hudson was arrested the same day and charged with capital murder; prosecutors said the killings were driven by his resentment over the property sale and were premeditated.

The violence devastated the Johnson family and the local community.
