Tragic Sunday Shootings Unfold
On a fateful Sunday night, the city of Port Arthur was rocked by a series of events that would leave the community in shock and disbelief. The incident, which took place in the early hours of the morning, resulted in the tragic death of Troyne Mitchell, a 31-year-old man from Port Arthur.
Details of the Incident
Mitchell was found in his vehicle with a gunshot wound and was rushed to The Medical Center of Southeast Texas, where he was pronounced dead by Justice of the Peace Ben Collins Jr. An autopsy was ordered to determine the cause of death, with preliminary results expected to be available early next week.
Port Arthur Police Chief Tim Duriso revealed that there were conflicting witness accounts regarding the circumstances of Mitchell’s death, leading to an ongoing investigation. It remains unclear whether the shooting was accidental or intentional.
The scene unfolded in the 800 block of Procter Street, where Mitchell’s life was tragically cut short. Shortly after the initial discovery, a commotion erupted outside a nearby club, leading to the apprehension of a suspect, Herbert Mouton, by security personnel.
