Nathaniel Nicholas Conley was a 13-year-old boy from Houston, Texas, killed on August 8, 2015 in a familicide at his mother’s home. The attack took place at the residence of his mother, Valerie Ann Conley-Jackson, and her husband, Dwayne Clifford Jackson Sr. Nathaniel was one of seven children who died when his father, David Ray Conley III, reportedly forced his way into the home, held the family hostage for about nine hours, and shot Nathaniel, his five siblings, his mother, and her husband. The incident was described as arising from a dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Valerie. David Ray Conley III was arrested and charged with capital murder; he was later convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

This remains a devastating case for the family and community. If anyone knew Nathaniel, his siblings, or the household and can help shed light on what led up to that day, please share information with investigators.
