Patrick Gene Tobias, 58, was shot and killed on November 27, 2021, at the Cortland Town Center apartments in the 2700 block of Bens Branch in Kingwood, Texas. A U.S. Navy veteran and father of a 15-year-old daughter, Tobias lived in the unit below the one where the altercation began. The confrontation started as an argument between roommates Logan Goldsmith and 20-year-old Tyler Binette; Tobias came upstairs to mediate and was shot in the neck when Binette picked up a gun.

Police identified Tobias as the victim and charged Binette with murder. Binette was taken into custody and a judge set bond at $1 million with conditions including an ankle monitor, house arrest, no contact with Tobias’s family, no alcohol or drugs, and no weapons. Court records also show Binette had a prior March 2020 burglary-of-a-vehicle charge.

Does anyone have additional details about Tobias’s life in Kingwood or saw activity at the Cortland Town Center apartments around that date?
