Welch shot and killed a 23-year-old Vidor man in mid-October in a shopping center parking lot off North Dowlen Road after the man, Chaz York, with an elevated blood alcohol level more than double the legal limit, was swinging around a baseball bat after he was ejected from a nearby bar-restaurant after an altercation, according to a statement from the Jefferson Coutny District Attorney's office in connection with the investigation. In March, Welch shot and killed a 22-year-old man with a scoped rifle at a Beaumont trailer park.
