On April 9, 2023, 30-year-old Houston resident Javoris Potier was shot and killed during a zydeco dance at Laday Arena in Cheek, Texas. The shooting occurred about 1 a.m. during The I-10 Super Ride, a two-day trail ride and concert that drew hundreds. Potier was reported to have intervened in a physical altercation among a group of women and was shot in the abdomen. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont and pronounced dead about an hour later.

Investigators identified 25-year-old John Joseph JJ Gutierrez of Hitchcock as the primary suspect; witnesses said someone matching his description fled with a tan-colored Glock immediately after the shooting. Subsequent inquiry tied the dispute to Potier attempting to court a woman who was in a relationship with Gutierrez, a connection investigators believe motivated the attack. Witnesses and associates later gave false statements and hid evidence, and the woman involved was later indicted for aggravated perjury.

Does anyone who attended The I-10 Super Ride or was at Laday Arena that night have details that could clarify the sequence of events leading up to the shooting?
