Ernest Lee Ernie Ibarra Jr. was 29 when he was killed on February 20, 2015, in Camp County, Texas. A Mount Pleasant resident born December 25, 1985, he worked two jobs to support his wife, Samantha Wohlford, and their five children and was remembered by family as helpful and devoted.

Investigators say Samantha was unhappy in the marriage and recruited three men — Jose Ponse, Johnathan Sanford, and Octavious Rhymes — to break into the couple’s home. The men reportedly attacked Ernie, then took him to a secluded area in Camp County where he was shot to death. Police allege inconsistencies in Samantha’s first statements led to further questioning and a confession in which she implicated the three men; arrests followed within hours.

Ernie’s family describe him as kind and hardworking. Does anyone have memories of Ernie or information about that night that could add detail to the timeline?
