On November 15, 2023, at about 6:30 p.m. Fayetteville police found 44-year-old Andre Allen Lewis inside a vehicle in the 1100 block of Center Street with multiple gunshot wounds. Lewis, a Georgia resident, was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and died on December 18, 2023.

Detectives traced Lewis’s movements that evening: he had parked at a convenience store on Camden Road for roughly 40 minutes, left the lot with a passenger around 6:18 p.m. heading north on Southern Avenue, and was discovered alone and wounded in his car about 12 minutes later on Center Street. Investigators found a trail of blood on Craven Street from Southern Avenue to Center Street and recovered a handgun from a trash can at the corner of Southern Avenue and Center Street.

On February 18, 2024, Fayetteville police arrested 33-year-old Heather Shontell Lindsay and charged her with first-degree murder; she is held at the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond. Authorities have not disclosed a motive or the nature of Lindsay and Lewis’s relationship. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective S. Shirey at 910-751-3009 or Crime Stoppers at 910-483-8477.

Does anyone have information about Lewis’s movements that evening or who might have been with him before the shooting?
