On July 8, 2023, 45-year-old Donyel Delmar was shot in the parking lot of Prince Hall Village Apartments in Port Arthur, Texas. Police responded to reports of gunfire about 11 p.m. and found Delmar with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont and died of his injuries.

Within days investigators from the Port Arthur Police Department, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service were searching for suspects. On July 14, 2023, 26-year-old Kentrell Gabriel was arrested in New Iberia, Louisiana, on a murder warrant and held on $1 million bond. Authorities later identified at least two other persons of interest and said the investigation remained active as they sought a motive and additional arrests. In September 2024, 26-year-old Devon Clifton Thomas of Farmerville, Louisiana, was arrested in connection with the homicide.

Delmar’s family established a GoFundMe titled Help with burial to assist with funeral costs. Does anyone have information about Delmar, the Prince Hall Village Apartments area that night, or the people mentioned?
