On the evening of April 20, 2022, 15-year-old Finnian Lewis was shot and killed inside a residence in Bandon, Oregon. Police who responded to reports of a shooting found Finnian with fatal injuries; the death was treated as a criminal homicide.

Investigators quickly focused on a family member. Finnian’s half-brother was identified as the suspect and taken into custody by the Bandon Police Department. The Coos County District Attorney’s Office filed charges, and a judge set bail at $2 million.

The motive and the sequence of events that led to the shooting remain central to the ongoing inquiry, and the community continues to mourn Finnian’s loss. If anyone has information about the case or the events that preceded April 20, 2022, please come forward.
