Thank you for sharing this important update. My heart goes out to you and your entire family for the unimaginable pain you've endured over these past five years. While no sentence can ever truly account for the loss of Matthew, your strength and determination to seek justice on his behalf is powerful and deeply moving.

It’s heartbreaking that Paul did not live to see some form of accountability in your son’s case. Please know that your continued advocacy, especially in standing up at every parole hearing, is not only a tribute to Matthew’s memory but also an act of courage that many admire.

Matthew will not be forgotten. His story matters—and so does the fight for justice that you and others have carried forward with such grace and tenacity. Standing with you in remembrance and solidarity.

Matthew Allen Causey was a 21-year-old construction worker from Luling, Texas, who was killed on June 22, 2020, in Pasadena, Texas. He was living with his father and stepmother in Dickinson at the time and is survived by his mother Stella Hill, his father Paul Causey, three sisters, and several grandparents. Family members described him as kind-hearted and with a promising future.

Matthew’s family says early in the investigation authorities gathered a signed confession, a corroborating witness statement, and forensic evidence including the suspect’s fingerprints on the firearm, yet no immediate charges were filed and the suspect was released. The family pushed publicly for justice through the #JusticeForMatthewCausey campaign.

In 2023 Tallon Parks, a 26-year-old White male, was indicted and later sentenced to five years in prison after a manslaughter conviction in connection with Matthew’s death. The family continues to hold memorials and advocate for accountability and transparency in cases with delayed justice.

Did anyone in the Pasadena or Dickinson area know Matthew or have information about what happened on June 22, 2020?
