Deandre Patrick Thomas, a 41-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in the early hours of August 18, 2018, in the parking lot of the OBok Restaurant & Club in Killeen, Texas. Police say Thomas and another man had argued earlier inside the club and the verbal dispute continued outside around 2 a.m. Officers found Thomas on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center in critical condition and pronounced dead at 2:46 a.m.

Authorities identified 45-year-old Reginald Ferlandus Jackson as the suspect. Witnesses and security camera footage reportedly show Jackson drawing a handgun and firing multiple shots at Thomas. Jackson was arrested about fifteen minutes after the first call near Cantabrian Loop; a .45 caliber handgun was recovered along the route between the club and where he was detained. A Bell County grand jury returned a murder indictment in October 2018 and Jackson was jailed with bond set at $500,000. The trial record notes prosecution witness testimony and camera footage, while the defense raised self-defense claims.

Did anyone in the Killeen area see or record activity around OBok Restaurant & Club that night or know more about the confrontation outside the club?
