Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for accused killer William Mitchell Hudson. He's facing several capital murder charges following the deaths of six members of two families at a campsite northwest of Palestine.

The oldest victim was 76. The youngest was a 6-year-old. Investigators say all but one of the victims were shot to death. The other victim died from blunt force trauma.

The trial was moved to Brazos County following a change of venue request.

More than 150 potential jurors were briefed Monday at the Brazos County Expo Center instead of the courthouse due to the number of people involved.

Hudson has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Investigators say the suspect met the victims earlier in the day, and murdered them all that night in November 2015 as they were at a campsite in Tennessee Colony. Hudson allegedly helped the the families with a vehicle stuck in the mud and was invited to stay with the group at the campsite.
