On Saturday, Feb. 5, a Texas man shot and killed four members of his family and injured three others before turning the pistol on himself, according to authorities.
Kevin Milazzo, 41, murdered his parents, son, and his 4-year-old child from his ex-girlfriend on Saturday morning.
Officers from the Corsicana Police Department responded just after midnight to an allegation that Milazzo had killed members of his family. When police arrived at the home, they discovered the bodies of an adult male and an adult female who had been shot dead. According to authorities, two more gunshot victims were discovered and transported to a trauma facility in the Dallas area. At this time, their conditions are yet to be revealed.
Milazzo’s stepfather, William (Bill) Mimms, 68, and his mother, Connie Mimms, 61, were later confirmed as the victims. There was no more information regarding the two other injured individuals.
Milazzo’s 21-year-old son Joshua Milazzo and 4-year-old infant Hunter Freeman – the son of Milazzo’s ex-girlfriend – were found dead at the junction of Garrity and Shroud Streets in Frost by deputies from the Navarro County Sheriff’s Department. According to police, they were also shot and murdered.
A woman was also found with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a trauma center in the Dallas area. Police are yet to reveal her identity and her health status was unknown as of early Sunday.
Law enforcement was able to locate Milazzo by tracking his vehicle’s GPS. Milazzo was spotted and confronted by Corsicana cops, the department’s SWAT team, and Navarro County deputies on a rural road after his vehicle’s engine had been remotely cut off by a monitoring service, police said.
The Texas man was found inside the car, seriously injured from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. According to authorities, the incident was treated by Matthew Branch, a medical doctor, and member of the SWAT team.
Milazzo was taken to Navarro Regional Hospital and died as a result of his injuries.
