Shyene Levene Holden, a 32-year-old woman from Port Arthur, Texas, was fatally shot at the French Connection nightclub on September 18, 2022. She was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, where she later died. A second person was wounded and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Port Arthur Police identified two male suspects seen fleeing the scene; both are believed to be from Port Arthur and remain the focus of an active investigation. Witnesses reported that two gunmen opened fire, and questions have been raised about the nightclub’s security and whether better measures could have prevented the shooting. The motive for the attack has not been determined.

Shyene Holden’s family is mourning and seeking justice. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas with anonymous tips. Did anyone in the area witness the shooting or see the suspects leaving the club?
