On Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 11:22 a.m., Beaumont Police Responded to 205 IH-10 N (Shell Gas Station) in reference to a Deceased Person being located outside behind a dumpster. Witnesses told Police that the deceased was a local transient identified as Terry L. Jones, a 57 year old man. Beaumont Police had responded to this location several times over the last few days to check on Mr. Jones and offered to bring him to a local shelter to get out of the harsh weather, however he refused. Beaumont Police Detectives and Judge Jones responded to the scene. No foul play is suspected and an autopsy has been requested. We have been unable to locate next of kin. Anyone with information about Mr. Jones’ next of kin is asked to call the Beaumont Police Department at 409-832-1234.
