On July 5, Trevon Hull, 21, of Port Arthur was shot and killed by two Port Neches police officers after he allegedly rammed a stolen vehicle into a police unit on Merriman Street before fleeing on foot with a gun.

The preliminary autopsy findings released earlier this month indicate Hull suffered multiple gunshot wounds. However, the amount of wounds and where they were located were not made public.

The Texas Rangers, a division of the Texas Department of Public Safety, is investigating the shooting at the request of Port Neches Police Department.

The two PNPD officers involved in the shooting, Guy Reynolds, 59, and Andrew Carter, 39, are still on administrative leave, Chief Paul Lemoine said on Friday.

The offices have undergone full psychological evaluations, he added.
