Davion Lashawn Hewlett, 15, known as Dae Dae, was fatally shot on May 1, 2017, inside a car parked at the Northway Lanes bowling alley on Evanston Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. He suffered a single gunshot wound, managed to get out of the vehicle, and then collapsed. The shooting was described in the investigation as accidental.

Davion’s older brother, 18-year-old Dareese Hewlett Jr., was handling a firearm when it discharged and struck Davion. Dareese was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon, and resisting and obstructing a police officer. Prosecutors noted the shooting was without malice or intent and that Dareese was heartbroken; he later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon, with the resisting and obstructing charge dropped as part of a plea agreement. He was sentenced.

Also in the car was 18-year-old Antwan Crawford, who was charged with unlawfully carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, and tampering with evidence after being accused of hiding a second gun following the shooting.
