Eddie Donte Hill, a 41-year-old man from Wichita Falls, Texas, was shot in the head and killed during a home invasion on October 26, 2019. Hill, raised in Wichita Falls and a 1994 graduate of Wichita Falls High School, was a father to Jaydon Paul Gawin-Hill and remembered for his love of football and a kind-hearted nature.

According to police, three people broke into an apartment on Warford Street to steal drugs and money. Officers say Tyrone Smith kicked in the door and shot Hill when he was confronted; Anthony Beamon and Autumn Cummings were alleged to have participated in the robbery and fled. The Wichita Falls Police Department arrested all three and charged them with capital murder because the burglary and killing occurred in the same incident. Smith later pleaded guilty to a reduced murder charge and received a 50-year sentence; Beamon and Cummings are awaiting trial.

Hill’s father, Eddie Barry, had also been murdered in a similar home invasion in 2000. Does anyone have information about the Warford Street incident or knew Eddie Hill personally?
