Family members are pleading for information after DeKevin Louis was found shot to death in a south Columbus building. They are urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward as police continue their investigation.
Nearly a week after 36-year-old DeKevin Louis was found shot to death inside a south Columbus building believed to be an after-hours club, his family is still waiting for answers and urging anyone with information to come forward.
"If you know something, say something," said Louis' mother, Latoya, as police hunt for the gunman who killed her son. Louis’ relatives gathered just feet from where he was found Wednesday morning, mourning his death outside the Lockbourne Road building where Louis was last seen alive. “This is the last place where he was,” said Louis’ mother. “It’s devastating, that in a matter of seconds, in an instant his life was gone.”“That was my best friend, that was my big brother, it hurts my kids can’t talk to my brother every day,” he said. “I can’t call and talk to my brother every day.” Louis’ 17-year-old daughter, Lev, wore her father’s jacket from when he worked in Atlanta, saying it is one of the few items she has left of him. “These clothes have his name, his first name on the shirt, last name on the jacket, it is the only thing I have of him,” Lev said. “I am standing in the dirty work clothes he had in Atlanta, instead of having my dad around.” Relatives said Louis moved to Columbus from Georgia seven years ago to be closer to family after an uncle died. They believe that when he got off work, he came to an event at the after-hours club. Police said Louis was discovered by the event company owner, shot to death around 7:30 Wednesday morning.“I have not heard anything, I have not heard anything,” she said. Columbus police issued a release about the deadly shooting on Wednesday night. When ABC 6 asked by e-mail on Thursday whether investigators had identified any potential suspects or had possible descriptions, police referred questions back to the initial release that gave limited information, but no details about suspects or motive.“We just want peace, we want to know what happened to him, he didn't deserve this at all,” Latoya Louis said, “DeKevin was a great person, everybody that knew him, loved him. It makes no sense, none whatsoever, he was such a good person.” As relatives from Columbus and Atlanta mourn together, Louis’ mother pleads for help from the public.As the weather warms and spring break approaches, there’s no better place for families to reconnect with nature, wildlife, and each other than the Columbus ZooSources familiar with the situation said TSA employees who received the gift cards were asked over the weekend to return them.Rock legend headlines festival opening casino hotel June 12 Eighties glam rock performer and touring icon Bret Michaels will perform a concert at the grand opening of the Hollywood Casino Columbus hotel June 12, as part
