Rhydan Bolton was a 20-year-old Lamar University sophomore studying nursing when he was fatally shot on January 19, 2015, outside the Market Ace convenience store a few blocks from campus in Beaumont, Texas. He served as fundraising chairman for the student organization Man Up and was remembered by classmates and the community at a candlelight vigil held in his honor.

Police say Bolton and a friend were mistakenly targeted early that morning by four men who were reportedly looking for someone else; investigators believed the attackers mistook Bolton for their intended target because of the similarity in the vehicle he was driving. Bolton did not know his attackers, who were arrested and charged with murder; bonds for the suspects were reported between $175,000 and $300,000. Legal proceedings in the case included appeals and challenges to evidence.

Does anyone who knew Rhydan or was in the area that morning have information that could help clarify what happened?
