Just before 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9, Beaumont Police Department (BPD) officers responded to the 1300 block of Edwin Street in reference to a shooting.
Upon arrival, officers located the victim, identified as 18-year-old Dwyndell Perrault Jr., inside the residence suffering from a single gunshot wound. According to a news release, he was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.
Preliminary investigation led detectives to believe that the gunshot was unintentionally self-inflicted, and foul play is not believed to be a factor. However, the investigation is on-going.
