Joshay Craig Baldwin, 40, was fatally shot in a confrontation at a game room in northeast Houston on May 6, 2022. Police say Baldwin and another regular customer, 60-year-old Anthony Craig Galentine, had argued earlier at a different location before meeting again at the game room at 4934 Laura Koppe Road. The dispute escalated into both men drawing firearms; officers found Baldwin unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a white Mercedes Benz in the parking lot and Galentine inside the game room. Paramedics pronounced Baldwin dead at the scene, and Galentine was later pronounced dead at Ben Taub General Hospital.

Investigators described both men as familiar with local gaming locations and linked the shooting to an earlier dispute, but the exact reason for the argument remains unclear. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division handled the case and has not named any arrests or suspects, describing the deaths as resulting from a mutual confrontation.
