On April 4, 2020, 17-year-old Trey Chanley Gibson was shot and killed at an apartment complex on Burton Avenue in Orange, Texas. Gibson was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and was transported to Exceptional ER, where he was pronounced dead by Judge Price. Reports say the shooting occurred inside the fenced area at the James Zay Roberts Apartments.

Police initially described two suspects: a large black male in a white tank top and dark shorts, and a shorter black male with dreadlocks in a dark shirt and dark shorts. Investigators believed the suspects were connected to a teal four-door Buick with damage to the driver-side rear door, though that vehicle was later located and determined not to have been used in the incident. Three days after the killing, on April 7, 2020, Clifton Hawthorne, 21, and Davion Riggs, 17, were arrested and charged with capital murder; bonds were set at $1,000,000 each.

The community organized a GoFundMe to help cover burial expenses; it raised $1,105 of a $10,000 goal. Anyone with information about the shooting is encouraged to contact the Orange Police Department.
