Shortly before 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 21, 2025, gunfire erupted at the End Zone Sports Lounge on Concord Road in Beaumont. Two people were shot and taken to a hospital; 31-year-old Beaumont resident Shane Thibodeaux Jr died after arriving at the medical facility. A second victim survived and remained hospitalized.

By Monday investigators had secured a murder warrant for 19-year-old Dakota Chatmon, named as the primary suspect in Thibodeaux’s killing and the wounding of the other patron. A 25-year-old named Jordan Baldwin was detained during the inquiry but booked on an unrelated misdemeanor mail theft charge and released on bond; police said his arrest was not tied to the shooting. Authorities asked the public to contact Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas with information about the crime or Chatmon’s whereabouts.

Does anyone who was at the End Zone that night or who knows Chatmon or Thibodeaux have information that could help investigators?
