Eugene Scott III, a 26-year-old Black man, was killed in Baytown, Texas, on June 13, 2014. Baytown Police investigated his death as a murder. A live press conference on August 5, 2015, announced an increase in the Crime Stoppers reward from $5,000 to $10,000 as investigators sought tips.

The case remained unsolved for years. In 2023, two suspected gang members, Cesar Nunez and Dyellen Fontenot, were arrested in an unrelated incident; investigators reported they had mistakenly targeted Scott, believing he was a rival gang member. No additional arrests or charges have been announced in connection with Scott’s killing and the investigation is open.

Anyone who knew Eugene or has information about what happened on June 13, 2014, is asked to contact Baytown authorities.
