 CROCKETT – The Crockett Police Department is still actively looking for Tyrell Dshawn Beasley, 27, for his role in a shooting incident which occurred on the morning of Juneteenth.

As previously reported, officers with the Crockett Police Department were dispatched to the 1100 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard – at approximately 8:27a.m., on June 19 – in reference to a report of gunshots.

According to a press release provided by Lt. Clayton Smith shortly after the incident, when CPD officers arrived at the scene, they were informed about an altercation between two men. The law enforcement officials were also advised the quarrel had escalated to the point where one of the individuals involved pulled out a handgun and began to shoot at the other person involved in the altercation.

“During the investigation it was determined that Tyrell Dshawn Beasley, 27,  pulled a handgun and fired at the victim in this case as he chased him in between multiple houses. During the incident, a residence was struck several times with projectiles from the gun,” the media release indicated.

“Multiple witnesses have identified Beasley as the shooter and the Crockett Police Department has issued two felony warrants on Beasley charging him with the following: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon- criminal attempt (a second degree felony) and deadly conduct (a third degree felony).

Anyone with any information or the whereabouts of Beasley is asked to contact the Crockett Police Department (Lt. Clayton Smith) at 936-544-2021 or East Texas Crime Stoppers at 936-639-TIPS (8477).
