Donesha Rondre Buckner, 33, was shot at the Normandy Apartments in Port Arthur, Texas, on January 18, 2025, and later died at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas. Known as NeNe, she was born September 5, 1991, participated in advanced placement courses in school, studied cosmetology at Vista College in Beaumont, and was active in her church’s choir and praise dance ministry.

Surveillance video from the Normandy Apartments showed Buckner involved in an altercation with someone in a red Chevrolet HHR before she stumbled away from the vehicle. Investigators traced the HHR’s license plate to 56-year-old Nerbert Frelow Jr. and located him and the car on January 21. Frelow came in for questioning, admitted driving the vehicle but denied shooting Buckner. Police say they recovered an empty pistol holder and collected gunshot residue swabs from the vehicle interior, and cell phone location data placed Frelow with Buckner for several hours before she collapsed.

An arrest warrant was issued; Frelow surrendered to the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on March 19, 2025, and was arraigned with bond set at $1 million. Did anyone in Port Arthur know Buckner or have information about her movements that night?
