On June 6, 2023, at approximately 3 a.m., Beaumont Police responded to reports of an unresponsive individual at the Pointe North Apartments, located at 3710 Magnolia Street in Beaumont, Texas. Upon arrival, officers discovered 26-year-old Curtis Crawford deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. Preliminary investigations suggested that the shooting occurred between midnight and 1 a.m.
Surveillance footage from the apartment complex revealed that Crawford arrived at the location with 28-year-old Janesya Kimorie Limbrick. As they exited their vehicle, two individuals, who appeared to be waiting for them, ambushed Crawford. Further examination of Limbrick's cellphone uncovered detailed communications between her and 39-year-old Jamal McCain, indicating a coordinated plan to rob Crawford.
On the evening of June 6, 2023, Limbrick was taken into custody by Beaumont Police. Subsequently, on June 20, 2023, McCain was apprehended in San Antonio by the U.S. Marshals’ San Antonio division, acting on information provided by Beaumont Police. Both individuals were charged with murder, with bonds set at $1 million each.
Further developments in the case led to the arrest of a third suspect. On December 18, 2024, 43-year-old Beaumont resident, JW Marshall, was arrested in the 4900 block of Wyatt Street. Marshall's involvement in the crime was not detailed in the available reports, but his arrest indicates an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Crawford's death.
The arrests of Limbrick, McCain, and Marshall highlight the collaborative efforts of local law enforcement and federal agencies in addressing violent crimes within the community. The investigation into Curtis Crawford's death remains active, with authorities continuing to seek information that may shed further light on the case. Individuals with relevant information are encouraged to contact the Beaumont Police Department or Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas.
