Damarion Lewis was 17 when he was shot to death shortly after midnight on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022, in the courtyard of an apartment complex in the 11700 block of Southlake Drive in Houston. He and an 18-year-old friend, President Wynn, were unloading groceries from their car for a holiday meal when both were struck; Wynn died at the scene and Lewis later succumbed to his injuries.

Houston Police have not identified suspects or a motive and have issued repeated public appeals for information. Families of both victims, including Lewis’s mother, have publicly pleaded for justice and expressed frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation.

The community continues to mourn these teenagers. Anyone who was near the 11700 block of Southlake Drive on the night of November 24, 2022, or who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Houston Police Department homicide division or Crime Stoppers.
