Garon Paul Atkinson Lewis was 17 when he was shot dead in New Iberia, Louisiana, on the evening of August 16, 2019. A student and athlete at New Iberia Senior High School who planned to pursue nursing like his mother, he was sitting in his car awaiting a date when he was fatally shot in the head. His body was found in the vehicle with the engine running.

Investigators concluded the killing was a case of mistaken identity: Garon was wrongly identified as a rival gang member by a group that had conspired to commit murder. The probe led to indictments of two men, Bryson Johnlewis (also referred to as Duke) and Travis Layne Jr., on counts including principal to second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. After a five-day trial, Bryson Johnlewis was found guilty on all counts and received life without parole for principal to second-degree murder plus lengthy additional prison terms.

Does anyone who knew Garon or was in New Iberia that night have information that could add detail to what happened?
