Eric Jermaine Lewis was 29 when he died after a violent altercation in Macon, Georgia, on June 9, 2005. He was African American and is survived by his mother and children. Local law enforcement investigated the circumstances, questioned multiple individuals viewed as potential suspects, and made arrests in connection with his death.

The case proceeded through the legal system but proved legally complex and presented significant challenges for the prosecution; the final resolution remained a concern in the Macon community for years. Lewis’s family and the community have continued to remember him and the impact of the violence that ended his life.

If anyone knew Eric, witnessed events from that day, or has information that could clarify what happened, please come forward.
