Devon Lewis was 20 when he was shot in Benton Harbor, Michigan, on June 14, 2015, during a dispute over $3 during a dice game. He was wounded in the stomach and died of his injuries on June 26, 2015. The shooting fractured two families who had been bound by friendship and blood.

The person who shot Lewis was identified as his friend and the half-brother of Lewis’s girlfriend, 23-year-old Tyshawn Yates. Reports say Yates was on probation and legally barred from possessing a firearm when he produced a handgun and shot Lewis. Yates reportedly turned himself in and was charged with open murder, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and felony firearm. A judge found there was enough evidence to send the case to trial.

At trial the jury convicted Yates of first-degree murder and other charges; he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Prosecutors noted the victim’s young daughter will grow up without her father. Did anyone in Benton Harbor know Devon or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
