John Scott, 29, was shot in the early hours of August 16, 2025, after a disturbance at the Willow Bend Apartments on Sikes Road in Orange, Texas. He was dropped off at the Golden Triangle Emergency Center around 2:51 a.m. with a gunshot wound and died from his injuries despite attempts to save him.

Detectives traced the shooting to the apartment complex at 4030 Sikes Road and worked to reconstruct the short, chaotic span of moments that ended with Scott’s death. By later that day investigators identified a suspect, 29-year-old Joshua Derrall Provost Jr. of Orange, who surrendered and was arrested on a homicide charge. He was booked into the Orange County Jail and a judge set bond at $1 million.

Officers continued interviews and processed evidence from the complex and the route that brought Scott to the clinic. Does anyone with information about the Willow Bend Apartments or that night in mid-August have tips to share?
