Eric Blocka Gentry, 35, of Texarkana, Arkansas, died of multiple gunshot wounds on March 19, 2020, after an altercation inside an apartment at Rosehill Ridge Apartments in Texarkana, Texas. Officers found Gentry on the kitchen floor and pronounced him dead at the scene. Kavante Wright, 26, of Texarkana, Texas, was arrested at the apartment’s back door minutes after the shooting and was charged with murder and booked into the Bi-State Jail.

Wright told investigators he acted in self-defense because he believed Gentry was armed and posed a threat. The case went to trial and in June 2021 a jury acquitted Wright after the defense argued Wright was justified in using deadly force under the Castle Doctrine.

Does anyone have additional information about Gentry’s activities or the argument that led to the shooting?
