BEAUMONT — A Jefferson County grand jury indicted Kylan Deion Bazile, 22, of Beaumont in the October fatal shooting of DeShandric Ji’Shaun Clayton.

Clayton, 23, was shot down while in a breezeway at Avery Trace Apartments, 4020 FM 365 in Port Arthur. Witnesses told police that a maroon passenger car reportedly driven by Bazile and occupied by two other people passed by and started shooting at Clayton, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Clayton, 23, of Port Arthur was struck, causing him to fall to the ground. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
