Joseph Calvin Bihm Jr., 34, of Beaumont, was found dead the morning of October 5, 2025, inside a pickup that had crashed along the 1400 block of Orange Avenue near King Collegiate Academy. First responders determined he had been shot; calls about gunfire came in around 7:30–7:40 a.m. and the truck was later found against a tree. Investigators treated the death as a homicide and worked to trace the vehicle’s final moments and the bullet that killed him.

Detectives identified two suspects within hours. Lamond Hines, 46, was arrested Sunday night on a murder charge after a traffic stop; a warrant was issued for 31-year-old Murry Gibbs, who later surrendered and was booked on a first-degree murder charge. Relatives described Bihm as a son and brother whose life centered on work and family, including a 13-year-old boy now facing life without his father. Authorities asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers as the case moves through the courts.

Does anyone have information about Joseph’s movements that morning or saw anything on Orange Avenue around 7:30–7:40 a.m.?
