Austin Shane Lewis, a 30-year-old White man, was found dead in his Crossville home on Neverfail Road on September 3, 2020, after a welfare check. Deputies reported the front door appeared forced and discovered Lewis on the kitchen floor with a fatal gunshot wound to the upper left chest. A spent shotgun shell was found on a nearby couch but no firearm was recovered at the scene.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation that involved the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the 13th Judicial District Attorney General’s Office. Lewis’s body was taken to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Nashville for autopsy. No arrests have been announced, no suspects publicly identified, and the case remains open.

Lewis is remembered by family as a loving father, son, and brother. Does anyone in the Crossville area have information about his movements or visitors around September 3, 2020?
