Antonio Wilson, a 32-year-old African American man from Beaumont, Texas, was shot and killed on August 6, 2020. He was found in a parking lot in the 5900 block of Bedford Drive with a gunshot wound and died after being taken to the hospital.
Authorities arrested 33-year-old Markeith Rashaad Morgan of Beaumont on a murder warrant; he was taken into custody by the Beaumont Police Department’s Special Assignment Unit and the US Marshals Service and held on a $1 million bond. Investigators said they believed more than one person was involved and indicated additional arrests were expected. Family members met with police a year after the killing and set up a GoFundMe to fund a Crime Stopper’s reward.
Wilson was remembered as a father, community activist, and entrepreneur. Morgan rejected plea offers and opted to go to trial; if convicted he faces from five to 99 years or life in prison. Does anyone have information about Wilson’s movements the night of August 6, 2020, or knowledge of others who might have been involved?
