Anthony James Matlock, 23, was found with gunshot wounds inside an apartment at a Mesquite apartment complex and later pronounced dead at a hospital. The shooting occurred the morning of November 12, 2022, just before 8:15 a.m.

Police say Lawrence Caston, 27, of DeSoto, was arrested in connection with Matlock’s death. Officers report Caston and Matlock did not know each other and that an argument in the complex’s parking garage preceded the fatal shooting; Caston was taken into custody by the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force shortly after the incident. The Mesquite Police Department is investigating and has asked the public for information.

Matlock’s family and friends are mourning his loss. Does anyone who was in the area that morning or who knew either man have information that could help investigators?
