Dekevin Louis, 36, was found dead of a gunshot wound the morning of March 25, 2026, inside a building in the 1600 block of Lockbourne Road in Columbus. The building’s owner discovered his body about 7:30 a.m. and first responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Investigators believe the location was an after-hours establishment and initially could not determine when the shooting occurred because no calls about gunfire were received overnight.

Louis had moved to Columbus from Georgia seven years earlier to be with family after his uncle’s death. His family, including his 17-year-old daughter, gathered near the scene and appealed to the community for information, saying he had attended an event at the club after leaving work and describing him as a good person who did not deserve this.

Police identified two people of interest; after interviews, 35-year-old Ladarius Alexander was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone attend the event at the club or see Louis that night who can help fill in the timeline?
