Lincoln Douglas Auzenne, a 7-year-old boy of African American ethnicity, tragically lost his life on October 29, 2019, in Deer Park, Texas. Lincoln, along with his siblings Parrish Auzenne and Eleanor Auzenne , and their mother, Ashley Auzenne , were found dead in their home. The Harris County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the deaths as a murder-suicide, with Ashley Auzenne identified as the suspect.

The family's paternal grandfather, Murvin Auzenne Sr., expressed the family's devastation and emphasized that there were no villains, only victims. He also requested privacy for the family as they grieved their loss.
Deer Park police initially guarded the house and conducted an investigation but stated that they were not pursuing any suspects and that there was no danger to the community. The community, including Deer Park Elementary School where Lincoln and his siblings attended, was deeply affected by the tragedy. Grief counselors were made available to help students cope with the loss.
The family's main priority was to address the needs of their heartbroken family and to seek support from their community. The grandfather mentioned that they were still processing what happened and were working on providing photos of the children if deemed appropriate.
This tragic event left a lasting impact on the small town of Deer Park, with neighbors and community members expressing their sorrow and disbelief. The family asked for prayers and support as they navigated through this agonizing time.
