Bobby Lewis, 50, was found dead in the front yard of a Melbourne, Florida, home on March 20, 2022. Police responded to reports of gunshots near Lipscomb Street and W.H. Jackson Street at about 11:45 p.m. and discovered Lewis with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say at least one person approached the house and opened fire, and someone inside the home returned fire, striking the attacker. No arrests were announced immediately after the shooting. The Melbourne Police Department did take a person inside the home in for questioning but did not charge that individual. The department has been seeking suspects and witnesses and asked the public for information.

Neighbors expressed shock and sadness at the violence. The investigation remains open; anyone with information that could help identify those responsible is asked to come forward.
