Brandon Chase Lewis, 21, was shot dead on the evening of September 8, 2019, at a home on North Brooks Street in Pelahatchie, Mississippi. Known for enjoying hunting and fishing, he was a father to a son, Braxton Chase Lewis, and a daughter, Stella Claire Lewis. Officers found Lewis with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene after immediate medical attention.

Police say the shooting followed a heated argument that escalated into violence in the presence of a woman and four young children; none of the children were physically injured. Law enforcement identified 23-year-old Willie Ray Holly as the shooter, arrested him at the scene, and initially charged him with murder. He was held on a $20,000 bond and the charge was later presented as manslaughter. The community and local churches rallied around Lewis’s family after the killing.
