BEAUMONT, Texas — The suspect in the fatal October 13 shooting of a 24-year-old Beaumont man has been indicted for murder.
Andre Williams, II, has been indicted in the early Sunday morning shooting death of Gregory Carrington, 24, at Honey's Drive-In, an Exxon gas station.
Police say he turned himself in on Monday morning and by Tuesday morning his bond had been set at $800,000 on the murder charge plus another $22,000 for charges of having an unlawful weapon, evading arrest and tampering with evidence. As a condition of his bond he will also be required to wear a GPS monitor and not leave Jefferson County.
Beaumont police responded to the Honey's Drive-In located at 3111 Concord Rd. at 3:21 a.m. after receiving a report that someone was either shot or hit by a car.
When officers arrived, they discovered that a man was on the ground in the parking lot, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Officers provided medical assistance to the victim until EMS arrived and took over. The man was pronounced dead shortly after.
Officers had to control a large crowd and identify any potential victims, suspects, and witnesses, according to a release from the Beaumont Police Department.
During the shooting, a 55-gallon barrel containing gas was struck by gunfire, causing it to spill in the Honey's parking lot and onto Delaware St.
Hazmat responded and firefighters shut down Delaware St. to clean the gasoline spill.
