In a tragic turn of events in Yukon-area on Monday morning, five people were found dead inside a home at 2804 Mirage St. The victims have been identified as Jonathon Candy and his wife Lindsay Candy, along with their three children: Dylan Candy (a Mustang Public Schools graduate), Ethan Candy (in ninth grade at Mustang High School), and Lucas Cady (in sixth grade at Meadow Brook Intermediate).
According to the police investigation, Jonathon is believed to have shot and killed his wife Lindsay multiple times before systematically going through the home shooting and killing their children. A fourth child, a 10-year-old boy, was in the home but left unharmed.
The motive for this tragic event remains unknown at this time. The Candy family had no history of domestic abuse allegations or previous calls to the residence.
Jonathon worked part-time for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Neighbors describe him as a friendly man who helped them with projects and yard work, leaving many in shock over the sudden turn of events.
The surviving child has been released to family members at the scene. Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
