Eric Darnell Noel, 29, was shot and killed in the middle of a roadway on February 14, 2014, in Port Arthur, Texas. Officers were sent to the 800 block of 9th Street around 1 a.m. after calls about a man down; Noel was found fatally shot. He was wearing a white durag, a gray and red fleece-type jacket, long black jean shorts, and red low-type tennis shoes.

Earlier that night Noel had been in an altercation in the parking lot of BJ’s Food Store at 1201 Seventh Street. He walked away from that dispute and was headed to his girlfriend’s house when he was shot; police believe the shooter was someone involved in the earlier argument who followed him and opened fire.

Noel’s mother, Lula Noel, led efforts to seek information by putting up flyers and pleading for tips. If anyone knew Noel, witnessed the February 14th incident, or has information about the altercation at BJ’s Food Store, please come forward.
