Keyunte Lewis, 19, was found shot the morning of July 21, 2025, in the 2500 block of Bahama Drive in West Oak Cliff. Dallas police were dispatched about 8:10 a.m.; Dallas Fire-Rescue took Lewis to a local hospital where he died. The department opened a homicide investigation under case number 103596-2025.

Reporters’ aerial photos showed investigators working a parking lot outside an apartment complex with dozens of evidence markers on the pavement. Authorities said they were still trying to determine who fired the shots and why; initial releases and local coverage named no suspect, offered no detailed description of a shooter, and did not announce a motive. Detectives canvassed the area and asked for tips as they gathered evidence.

Friends, mentors, and family remembered Lewis as Papi, noting he had graduated recently, developed culinary skills through Café Momentum, was preparing for HVAC training, and pursued music. Café Momentum and community pages organized support for his family. Anyone with information about the shooting or who knew Keyunte is asked to come forward.
