Douglas W. Lewis, a 55-year-old attorney, was found dead inside his burning law office on Stone Mountain Street in Lawrenceville, Georgia, on the evening of December 7, 2022. Emergency crews responding to the fire discovered Lewis’s body and investigators determined he had been shot multiple times before the fire was intentionally set.

Police apprehended 65-year-old Allen Tayeh near the scene; he had burn injuries, was carrying a revolver with spent cartridges, and gasoline cans were found in the vicinity of the burned law office. Court records show Lewis had been representing Tayeh’s ex-wife in divorce proceedings, and Tayeh had been ordered to pay nearly $30,000 in her legal fees to Lewis. A hearing about Tayeh’s failure to pay was scheduled for the week after the murder.

Did anyone in the Lawrenceville area know Lewis or have information about contacts between him and Tayeh before December 7, 2022?
