Adrian Dwayne Guidry, a 40-year-old African American man from Beaumont, Texas, was fatally shot on May 23, 2015 during Memorial Day weekend at Magnolia Park. The shooting was part of a triple shooting: John Corbin Jr. was also critically shot and died four days later, and a third person survived with a gunshot wound to the arm.

Witnesses described Michael Jason Green chasing and repeatedly shooting John Corbin Jr., while Desmond Arnez Nixon approached Guidry and shot him execution-style. Police believed the attack was retaliation for the murder of Green’s younger brother, Joshua Green, 12 days earlier. Two suspects were arrested: Michael Jason Green and Desmond Arnez Nixon. Green, then 34, was indicted on two counts of capital murder and one count of aggravated assault, later pleaded guilty and received a 35-year prison sentence. Nixon, then 31, was tried for capital murder and was acquitted by a Jefferson County jury.

The case combines a lethal, apparently retaliatory attack with differing legal outcomes for the two defendants. Does anyone have additional information about the incident, the victims, or the events that preceded it?
