Deputies say back on April 9, 2023, at around 1 a.m., they were called to the I-10 SUPER RIDE Trail Ride and Zydeco event.
When they arrived, they discovered two men suffering from gunshot wounds at the event. Both of the men were transported to the hospital where one survived his injuries, and the other, Potier, died.
Potier was said to have been at the event to celebrate his friends.
“An abundance of information has been obtained thus far and witnesses have come forward with useful details and visual accounts, but more is needed. Javoris had many friends at this event and those that have not yet come forward with important details related to his death should honor him with their loyalty by doing so at this time,” a news release read.
It is believed that Potier has friends and connections in Houston, Pearland, Galveston and Galveston Bay areas of Texas City, League City, Hitchcock and LaMarque.
Detectives say they are determined to bring this investigation to a close and to provide his family and friends with the justice they deserve.
