Kimberly Simpson, 51, was one of three people killed in a shooting inside a home in Mabank’s Cedar Creek Cove subdivision in the early hours of October 17, 2025. Deputies were dispatched to a residence on Taos Drive about 2:30 a.m.; Simpson and Connie Patrick, 72, were found with multiple gunshot wounds and were declared dead at the scene. Ronny Hammonds, 57, also died after sustaining a gunshot wound, blunt force trauma, and multiple stab wounds. Two other men from the house were taken to UT Health in Tyler; one was reported in stable condition and the other in critical condition.

Investigators named 29-year-old Christopher Kyle Reid Jr. of Hubbard as the suspect. Authorities say Reid fled after the Mabank shootings and, around 5 a.m., crashed a maroon Dodge Caravan into the entrance of a Buc-ee’s in Ennis, pinning a woman in her 30s against a display before shooting himself in the head; the woman’s injuries were not life-threatening. Reid was taken to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas in critical condition. Officials have not confirmed any relationship between the suspect and the victims, and multiple agencies are involved in the active, ongoing triple-homicide investigation.

Does anyone have information about Kimberly Simpson, her connections in Mabank, or events at the Taos Drive residence on the night of October 16–17?
