Michael Robert Walton, 54, and his wife Lynda Renneẽ Walton, 52, were found shot to death in their home in the Lake Pointe Estates subdivision in Katy, Texas, on May 29, 2014. Their son, Ryan Walton, then 20, was arrested two days later after he was found driving his mother’s stolen vehicle and was charged in connection with the killings.

Investigators reported Ryan had a history of drug use and mental illness and had stopped taking his medication before the incident; he told authorities he heard voices and believed his parents were turning friends and family against him. Ryan initially pleaded not guilty; later developments in court included a plea and sentencing that occurred after the murders.

Michael Walton was described by family as a prominent land developer who was kind and generous, and the deaths had a deep impact on the Katy community. If anyone knew the Waltons or has information about the family or the events leading up to May 29, 2014, please share what you can.
