Dominique Lewis, 31, was found dead at his home on South Lewis Street in New Iberia, Louisiana, on the night of Saturday, November 6, 2021. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was discovered by his daughter-in-law, who found the door slightly ajar before entering the residence.

Police identified 31-year-old Anthony Jamal Lawson, also known as Anthony Lost, as a person of interest and asked the public for help locating him. Lawson turned himself in for questioning and was later transferred to St. Mary Parish jail on unrelated failure-to-appear charges. Subsequent investigation resulted in Lawson’s arrest on charges of second-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and theft of a firearm in connection with Lewis’s death. Reports describe Lewis and Lawson as close friends.

Dominique’s mother, Cindy Lewis, said this was her second son lost to gun violence; the family’s younger son, Dante Lewis, was shot and killed in 2018 at age 26. If anyone knew Dominique, his movements that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
