This tragedy sent shockwaves through the town. Pastors Lonnie and Debbie Keele knew Connie and Bill Mimms, two of the victims, for over two decades.
Connie and Bill Mimms were killed by Connie’s son Kevin Mizzano on February 5 in a quadruple murder. Lonnie said, “It’s just heavy and hard. I don’t know how to put it any other way.”They said the Mimms joined Community Chapel Church over 25 years ago and considered them a part of their family.
They described the Mimms as “really loving people” and Connie as someone who genuinely liked helping others. “I would say to her Sister Connie, do you even know them? ‘No, I don’t know them but they need help and I’m going to help them,'” Lonnie said.Debbie said, “Bill and Connie – they loved their children, they loved their grandchildren.”“This was pure evil, and this was someone with a sick mind,” said Debbie.With so many questions about why this happened remain, the Keeles are planning several funerals and leaning on their faith to get them through this.
We reached out to police multiple times and didn’t hear back. We will continue to ask questions about this investigation this week and get more answers.
