Jason Lewis Sr., 39, was shot and killed outside the Sahara Temple after-hours club on Seventh Street in Braddock, Pennsylvania, in the early morning of February 16, 2020. Surveillance shows him laughing and hugging patrons inside shortly before he and a friend left following a minor verbal dispute between the friend and a woman. Around 3:50 a.m., Lewis was shot multiple times outside; a friend drove him to UPMC Presbyterian, where he later died of a gunshot wound to the trunk. The death was ruled a homicide.

Allegheny County detectives say they believe they know who fired the shots and that the suspect is related to the woman involved in the earlier argument, but no arrests have been made. Investigators identified 15 to 20 people who were outside and saw the shooting, yet none have officially identified the shooter. Police report receiving anonymous tips but say they need witnesses willing to testify.

Family members, including his father Rick Lewis, have kept the case in public view with a billboard and vigils while urging anyone with information to come forward.
