Cade Caviness, a 19-year-old male from Longview, Texas, was remembered by those who knew him as a sweet and loving person. His life was cut short in the early morning hours of Sunday, January 30, 2022.
Around 2:30 a.m. that day, officers with the Pittsburg Police Department responded to a 911 call about a shooting in the 600 block of Jefferson Street. At the scene, they discovered Cade, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. A Camp County justice of the peace pronounced him dead at the location. Shortly after, police received another call about a second victim in the 100 block of Daingerfield Street. There, they found 18-year-old Patrick Hawk of New Diana, who had been shot once.
Hawk was treated for his injury and released at the scene.
Investigators with the Pittsburg Police Department launched a homicide investigation. The police chief, Matthew Lemarr, confirmed that both Cade and Patrick Hawk were shot at the same location on Jefferson Street. The investigation eventually led to the identification and arrest of a suspect.
In connection with the shooting death of Cade Caviness, Jonathan Phillips was sentenced just prior to his trial. Following this development, the case is considered solved.
