Nikko Ray Deases, 37, of El Campo, Texas, was shot and killed on June 29, 2025 after an argument at the gas pumps outside the Beverage Wall convenience store at 1110 Palacios Street. The confrontation occurred at about 4:23 p.m.; witnesses and community memorial pages describe a brief struggle at the pump area that ended in gunfire. Funeral notices confirmed his age and date of death, and public booking records listed his sex and race as male and white.

Investigators were searching for a suspect the day after the shooting. Tips led officers to Brazoria, where a vehicle stop resulted in the arrest of a 32-year-old man who was booked in connection with the homicide; reporting at the time said a handgun recovered around the arrest was believed to be the weapon used. Public tributes and memorial pages have since shared Deases’s name, dates, and hometown.
