Cameron Ray Newsome, 16, was shot in the early morning hours of May 24, 2025, in a southwest San Angelo neighborhood and later died at Shannon Medical Center. Officers were called about 4:45 a.m. to the 4400 block of Bermuda Drive, where they found Newsome wounded in an alley behind homes near a party and rushed him to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

San Angelo police quickly identified a suspect as 17-year-old Derek Randall Carson; by late morning on May 24 authorities announced Carson was in custody and that a murder charge would be filed. Booking records show Carson was held in the Tom Green County Jail on a $500,000 bond. Police said the arrest followed coordinated work by patrol, investigators, special operations, the crime scene unit and the drone team.

Relatives and community members mourned Newsome, and an online memorial page confirmed his death and collected early coverage while the family sought help with funeral expenses. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Cameron, please share what you know.
