3 charged with murder of Texas woman who interrupted carjacking – Crime Online

Three Texas men have been indicted on capital murder charges in the shooting death of a Beaumont woman who stopped them from breaking into her car last month.

The killing of 39-year-old Ebonie Gilbert was caught on surveillance video on September 26. KFDM reported.

A time stamp on the Ring video shows the suspects — identified as D’Corey Shillow, 21; Javonta Turner, 21; and Tydrick Davis, 20 — stealing Gilbert’s car from outside her home, according to their arrest affidavits. She goes outside to see what’s going on, and prosecutors say Shillow shot her.

Gilbert tried to get back into her house but collapsed and died.

The next day, Gilbert’s mother found the body when she went to her daughter’s house after being unable to reach her.

According to court documents, Shillow admitted his involvement in Gilbert’s death and named Turner and Davis as accomplices. He said he gave Turner the clothes he was wearing that night, and investigators found them when they executed a search warrant at Turner’s home.

Davis told a witness that he was with Turner and Shillow at the murder, according to an affidavit for his arrest.

A judge set Shillow’s bond at $750,000, while a justice of the peace set bond for Turner and Davis at $800,000. In addition, Turner must wear a GPS monitor, not leave Jefferson County and have no contact with his co-defendants.
