Christin Leshay Ross was an 18-year-old African American female who was shot on October 10, 2019, in the parking lot outside River Oaks Center Mall in Calumet City, Illinois. She and 17-year-old Tyrell Wade were preparing to leave after confronting Dajon M. Lewis, 18, about an alleged robbery of Christin’s sister when Lewis allegedly began firing a 9mm firearm as people ran toward the mall. Both victims were transported to hospitals and died of their injuries two days later.

Christin’s father described her as a ray of sunshine; she had been preparing to start college. Authorities charged Dajon M. Lewis with two counts of first-degree murder. An arrest warrant was issued October 15; Lewis was taken into custody October 25 during a traffic stop in Gary, Indiana, held in Lake County, Indiana, and later waived extradition to Illinois. He was ordered held without bond at his court appearance.

Are there details about the confrontation that night or witnesses who were at the mall that could shed more light on what happened?
