Chad Slaughter, 26, was shot and killed inside a unit at the Timberlake Courts apartments on the IH-10 service road just south of Laurel in Beaumont, Texas, on November 3, 2014. The killing prompted a major investigation and criminal cases in Jefferson County.

Two 19-year-olds at the time, Marquaize Dashaun McChriston and Jacoby Jamal Joiner, were charged with capital murder in connection with Slaughter’s death. McChriston later pleaded guilty to the murder and to unrelated burglary and robbery charges; he was sentenced to 40 years for the murder with concurrent 20-year terms on the other counts. Joiner’s trial was scheduled for January, according to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office.

Slaughter’s mother, Vanessa Davis-Shield, who is raising his five-year-old son, publicly expressed grief and said she forgives McChriston and hopes he finds God while serving his sentence. Does anyone in Beaumont remember Chad or have information about the night of November 3, 2014?
