Anthony Green, 20, of Beaumont, Texas, was shot and killed on December 28, 2017, at a car wash on Washington Boulevard. His death was the 19th homicide in Beaumont that year. Family members described him as a good kid who liked to make people laugh and said he had no known involvement in trouble.

Investigators say two men, Desmond Bennett and David Parkerson, whom Anthony had known since childhood, were responsible for the shooting. Family members allege the suspects believed Anthony was involved with Bennett’s girlfriend, a belief that reportedly led to the confrontation. Bennett was arrested on February 6, 2018; Parkerson remained at large and the investigation was ongoing. The Beaumont Police Department and U.S. Marshals followed leads and gathered evidence.

The killing left a deep impact on Anthony’s family and friends, who continued to seek justice and closure. If anyone has information about what happened that night or Parkerson’s whereabouts, please come forward.
