Timothy Lewis, 42, was shot while cooking on a grill on New Castle Street in Savannah on the night of Wednesday, February 23, 2022. Police arrived to the 1200 block around 10:30 p.m. after gunfire; Lewis was found with gunshot wounds and taken to Memorial Medical Center, where he died on Thursday, February 24, 2022. The shooting occurred the same day his family had held a balloon release for his mother’s anniversary.

Neighbors remembered Lewis as a father of three and a community-minded entrepreneur who had recently opened a wing spot nearby. Savannah Police identified 21-year-old Shawn Campbell Jr. as a suspect; Campbell was arrested and booked into the Chatham County jail on March 21, 2022, and charged with murder in connection with Lewis’s death.

Lewis’s family and the neighborhood remain grieving and seeking answers. If anyone knew Timothy, saw activity on New Castle Street that evening, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
