Roosevelt Keyron Lewis III, 22, was shot and killed on March 24, 2025, at the Arbors at Riverbend Apartments in Osceola, Indiana. Deputies arrived after reports of gunfire around 2:43 p.m. and found Lewis with at least one gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to Elkhart General Hospital and later died. An autopsy listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and ruled the manner homicide.

Investigators say the shooting followed an arranged narcotics transaction; Lewis’s girlfriend had set him up to buy marijuana from an acquaintance. Witnesses reported a white SUV pulling up while Lewis waited outside, an argument, a shouted threat from the vehicle, and then someone in the driver’s seat extending an arm and firing before the SUV fled. Lewis was found with a handgun that was not fired in the incident.

Police identified 20-year-old Daqwan Jackson-Burnett of Elkhart as the suspect. Surveillance footage tracked a white SUV leaving the complex, and deputies later located an abandoned vehicle that smelled of marijuana and carried registration tying it to a relative of the suspect. Searches connected to Jackson-Burnett reportedly turned up firearm accessories consistent with the 5.7 caliber shell casing found at the scene. Any readers with information about Roosevelt or this shooting are asked to come forward.
