Steven Romine, 59, was one of three men shot to death on December 13, 2019, in Corpus Christi’s Flour Bluff neighborhood. The other victims were 39-year-old James Edward Tennant and 49-year-old John Wayne Hughes. All three died from gunshot wounds inside a home in the 500 block of Claride Drive, near the Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi. Police were called just after 9 p.m. that night.

Authorities arrested two suspects the following day: 29-year-old Benjamin Lebleu and 27-year-old Miles Dingman. Both were charged with capital murder and tampering with evidence after investigators say the suspects encountered the victims while committing a burglary. The district attorney later declined to seek the death penalty; both men were indicted on capital murder and tampering counts, with Lebleu held on $2,052,500 bond and Dingman on $1,555,000 bond.

The killings had a strong impact on the local community. If anyone knew Steven Romine or has information about the events that night, please come forward to assist the ongoing case.
