Reginald Lewis, 54, was found shot in the head and his house set on fire in Houston, Texas, on August 16, 2021. The violence was described as both shocking and alarming to the community and prompted an immediate investigation.

Investigators identified Lewis’s stepson, Donald Lenor, as the primary suspect. Lenor was charged in connection with Lewis’s murder; he was also charged in the shooting death of Donovan Bryant, who was killed while riding a four-wheeler in northeast Houston about four weeks after Lewis’s death. Reports say the relationship between Lewis and his stepson was strained and that prosecutors presented forensic evidence, witness testimony and a timeline tying Lenor to Lewis’s killing.

The case brought attention to familial violence and its consequences in the local community. Did anyone in the Houston area know Reginald Lewis or have information about his relationship with his stepson?
