A deadly string of violence that has grabbed hold of Port Arthur, Beaumont and surrounding communities is showing no signs of stopping, with the Port Arthur Police Department announcing Wednesday morning news of another killing.

At approximately 12:11 a.m. Wednesday, Port Arthur Police received a 9-1-1 call in reference to a man being shot at 914 W. 14th St., near Prince Hall Apartments.

Officers arrived and found a 34-year-old male who sustained a gunshot wound.

The victim was dead at the scene, according to Det. Mike Hebert, who said Jefferson County Precinct 7 Justice of the Peace Brad Burnett ordered an autopsy.

The victim’s name is not being released at this time, according to police.

PAPD’s Criminal Investigations Division is asking anyone with information on this fatal shooting to “please call” police at 409-983-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 409-833-TIPS.

The location of Wednesday’s violence is a familiar one for crime scene officers, who responded to the same location a week before to discover a man suffering from several gunshot wounds to his back and lying between two buildings on the west side of the complex near Dewalt Avenue.

Following that Nov. 18 shooting, police announced a person of interest has been identified; however, an update on the victim’s condition or news of an arrest have not been released.

Wednesday’s homicide victim is the eighth in Port Arthur in 2020 and third in November.
