CBS19 is working to get more information.

LONGVIEW, Texas — A large law enforcement presence has been spotted at a Longview doctor's office.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety and Gregg County Sheriff's Office, descended upon Rheumatology Association of Longview on Thursday morning, which is run by Dr. Kayvan Kamali.

Dr. Kamali is the son of Reza Kamali, 87, who was arrested April 23 for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill Ron Horaney because of a family dispute.

Horaney, who was 54 when he was killed, was also the cousin of Longview Mayor Andy Mack. He was gunned down in the doorway of his home on Tryon Road., on Monday, May 30, 2016. 

Alfredo Lizcano, 38, of Longview, and his half-brother Rene Garcia Jr., 26, were also arrested in connection with Horaney's death.

Kamali is being held in the Gregg County Jail on $7.5 million bond. Lizcano was booked into the Dallas County Jail on $10 million bond before being transferred to Gregg County. Garcia is being held in federal prison on an unrelated charge.

ARREST DOCUMENTS

The warrant states an anonymous informant told investigators in June 2016, Kamali told them he wanted Horaney "killed up close and personal because of a family dispute." Kamali offered to pay a large sum of money for this person to murder Horaney. Later that same month, investigators saw Kamali meet with a man, who was later identified as Lizcano, at a Dallas fast food restaurant while performing surveillance on Kamali. 

Investigators followed Lizcano's vehicle and he was stopped for a traffic violation. During that stop, Lizcano was identified as the person who met with Kamali. The front passenger was eventually identified as Lizcano's half-brother Garcia, the affidavit said. 

On April 18, 2024, Garcia met with investigators to discuss what he knew about Lizcano's role in Horaney's murder. When shown a photo lineup that included a photo of Kamali,  Garcia said, "that's the man that hired my brother," according to the document. 

Lizcano lived in Longview around the time of Horaney's death. Lizcano told Garcia that he was going to do a job and murder someone. Lizcano sent Garica to pick up a box that the Garcia believed to be a payment for the murder, according to an interview detailed in the affidavit.  

On the day of the murder, Lizcano admitted to Garcia that he killed Horaney. Garcia said he did a Google search of the murder when it happened, and a forensic examination of his phone showed that to be true, the affidavit explained. 

Garcia said Lizcano had a revolver-type firearm before the murder, the document read.
