Jonathan Kevin Hume, 24, of Lexington, North Carolina, was found fatally shot inside his 2003 BMW at the intersection of Swing Dairy Road and West Center Street Extension at about 4:30 a.m. on July 15, 2020. The vehicle was disabled in the road and no other occupants were present; Hume was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police treated the death as a homicide and arrested two suspects the next day, July 16, 2020. Erick Lorenzo Lawton, 20, of Lexington, was charged with murder. Hunter Lee Martin, 20, of Winston-Salem, was charged with accessory after the fact. Both were taken into custody and held in Davidson County Jail without bond.
Hume’s family and friends remembered him as compassionate, kind-hearted, and someone who loved the outdoors, sports, and driving. His memorial service took place on August 1, 2020, at Hanes Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. Does anyone have information about Hume’s last movements or the area around Swing Dairy Road that morning?
