Tre Devon Lyons, 22, was shot to death and found inside a vehicle on the 500 block of North Orange Street in West Augustine on November 27, 2023. Deputies arrived about 11:30 p.m. after reports of a vehicle that had crashed into a fence; Lyons and a second victim, 21-year-old Cody James Bennett, died of apparent gunshot injuries inside the car.

Lyons’ family describe him as a devoted son, grandson and father of three who had recently moved into his own place, worked two jobs and loved football; his father, Craig Lyons, said Tre was not involved in gangs and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office calls the shooting an isolated incident.

Anyone who knew Tre or who has information about the November 27 shooting is asked to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers.
