Dimehz Phillips, a 21-year-old from Lorain, Ohio, died after a shooting on May 20, 2020 and passed away on May 21, 2020. Born December 22, 1998, in St. Louis, Missouri, he had lived in Lorain most of his life and is described as someone who loved music and was close to his family. He left behind three young sons, a mother and a little sister.

Lorain police arrested a juvenile in connection with the shooting. The suspect, identified in reports as 17-year-old Treshawn Crooks, was later sentenced to a minimum of seven years up to a maximum of eight-and-a-half years in prison for his role in the fatal shooting. A GoFundMe was set up to help cover funeral expenses and support Phillips’s children, and the community offered support to the family.

Anyone who knew Dimehz, his routines or that night is asked to come forward with information that could add to the record or help his family.
