"We are sorry for the loss," Riley said, according to the station. "I know this is really hard on a community that's been rocked with so much devastation during Tropical Storm Imelda and the loss of four lives in our community is just more than I can even console you with. There's just no words."

The victims were identified by police as Bobby Wyatt, 39, Shannon Sutton, 23, Alvin Lee Bellard, 32, and Elijah Rideau, 33.
