Jesse Pawlowski, 20, of Jacksonville, Cherokee County, Texas, United States has been arrested. He was charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths of Jeff Gerla, 47, Ami Hickey, 39, Amanda Bain, 39, and John Clinton, 18.
Hickey, who is Clinton's mother, was dating Bain. Clinton was dating Gerla.
On July 20, 2021, Clinton's body was found in the driveway at a residence north of New Summerfield, Cherokee County. His mother, Gerla and Bain were found in the back of the land.
Pawlowski and his fellow Jacksonville residents Billy Phillips, 37, and Dylan Welch, 21, allegedly stole clothing, guns and a 2017 Dodge Challenger from the residence that day and fatally shot the four victims. Before the day ended, the three suspects were arrested.
On July 21, 2021, Pawlowski, Phillips and Welch were booked into the Cherokee County Jail in Rusk, Cherokee County on bonds of $1 million each. Pawlowski and Phillips are friends and Welch is their associate.
"I believe the robbery was planned and the murder was spontaneous," Longview News-Journal quoted Cherokee County Sheriff Brent Dickson as saying. "Our citizens are definitely safe now that these individuals are off the streets. We're going to do everything we can to keep them safe."
