On June 30, 2024, at about 1:30 a.m., Port Arthur officers found 31-year-old Troyne E’shon Mitchell, known as T-ro, inside a vehicle on the 800 block of Procter Street with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He was taken to The Medical Center of Southeast Texas and pronounced dead; a Justice of the Peace ordered an autopsy. The Port Arthur Police Chief described the death as suspicious while investigators await autopsy and forensic results. Witness accounts conflict—some suggest an accidental shooting, others imply foul play—and police have obtained some video from the night and are seeking more footage and tips.

While officers were on scene, gunfire was heard at the nearby Opulence Lounge, where two men were found with gunshot wounds to their legs; they declined to pursue legal action. Officers arrested 27-year-old Herbert Mouton at the lounge for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. No arrests have been made in connection with Mitchell’s death. Anyone with information or video is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas at 409-833-TIPS or use the P3 Tips app.
