Dwayne Wilkerson, 39, was shot and killed on April 11, 2022, while working as a mechanic at Lewis Ace Automotive in Humble, Texas, a shop owned by his father Leonard Lewis. The shooting followed a dispute over property, and witnesses reported hearing shots and seeing a black Nissan Altima speed away from the scene.

Surveillance footage captured a heavy-set, bald man with a beard approaching Wilkerson’s vehicle and then fleeing in the Nissan. Investigators identified 51-year-old William Leroy Penn as the suspect; Penn was charged with felony murder. He admitted wearing the same clothing seen on the video during questioning but denied involvement in the shooting. No firearms were recovered from his apartment, and police continue to gather evidence.

Wilkerson is remembered by family and friends for his vibrant personality. Did anyone in the Humble area see the black Nissan Altima or recognize the man in the surveillance footage?
