Raymond Eugene Ray Weatherly, 63, of Beaumont, Texas, was shot and killed in his home on December 16, 2016. He was found by his wife, Catherine Weatherly, in a pool of blood in the entryway; autopsy testimony at trial described three gunshot wounds to the face and one to the stomach. Weatherly had worked as a union electrician with IBEW Local 861 and is survived by his wife and children.

Calvin Holman, 31, was arrested and charged with Weatherly’s murder. Holman told investigators the shooting was self-defense during an argument while he was helping Weatherly move. Prosecutors presented evidence that Holman had stolen a gun from Weatherly’s home and later returned to shoot him after Weatherly gave Holman a bad online review and filed a criminal complaint about an allegedly forged check. A jury convicted Holman of first-degree murder and imposed a 17-year prison term plus a $10,000 fine.
