Paul Broussard (1964–1991), a 27 year-old Houston-area banker and Texas A&M alumnus, was beaten and stabbed to death in a gay-bashing outside a Houston nightclub on July 4, 1991 by ten teenaged boys. The youths had driven from the northern Houston suburb of The Woodlands to the heavily gay area of Montrose solely to "beat up some queers" in the words of one of the convicted teens.

Background
Buice said that the day before the killing, he and his co-defendant, Paul Dillon, 23, began consuming one-and-a-half cases of beer. Buice also took one-half hit of LSD that day.

By the time the group had assembled in a McDonald's parking lot, they were "amped up," Buice indicated. They made a unanimous decision to drive south to Montrose and "go beat up some queers." Some of them even filled their pockets with "queer rocks," which were ordinary stones meant to be thrown at men in the area known for its gay nightspots.
