Elijah Isaiah Rideau, 33, of Beaumont, Texas, was one of four men shot to death on September 29, 2019, at an apartment complex in the 4100 block of Highland Avenue. The other victims named in reports were Bobby Lee Wyatt, Shannon Christopher Sutton, and Alvin Lee Bellard.

Police say Rideau managed to utter the name Lively just before he died; that statement was treated as a dying declaration and led investigators to Lively James Stratton Jr. Witnesses at the scene identified Stratton as someone who had been in prior conflict with the victims and who had threatened them before the shooting. Stratton, 22, was later arrested and indicted on four counts of capital murder based on witness statements and the dying declaration.

Did anyone in Beaumont know the victims or have information about conflicts at that apartment complex?
