Kevin J Hines, 35, was shot and killed on December 9, 2024, at about 10 p.m. inside the United States Postal Service processing facility on U.S. 90 East in Missouri City, Texas. The facility was evacuated, law enforcement and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service secured the scene, and authorities reported no other injuries or ongoing threat to the public.

A USPS employee, 24-year-old Derrick Deon Lott Jr., was arrested at the scene and charged with murder in connection with Hines’s death. Reports state Lott was out on bond at the time for an earlier alleged assault on a peace officer; that bond had been set at $2 million. The processing facility was closed temporarily and resumed operations the next day.

Kevin Hines is described by family and coworkers as a dedicated professional whose death has deeply affected the community. Is there anyone who worked at the facility or knew Kevin who can share details about what happened that night?
