Christopher Lewis Jr., a 15-year-old Black student at Cardozo Middle School, was killed in Jackson, Mississippi, in the early morning hours of April 22, 2022. He was at the intersection of Woody Drive and Woodburn Street when he sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the face at about 4:00 a.m.; the Hinds County Coroner listed that wound as the cause of death.

Jackson police took two other teenagers into custody at the scene; one was later released to guardians and the other, 15-year-old Jaebrion Smith, was charged with second-degree murder. Authorities have not publicly disclosed a motive for the shooting. The Jackson Public School District expressed condolences and arranged counseling for students and staff affected by the loss.

Does anyone who knew Christopher or was in that neighborhood that morning have information that could help clarify what happened?
