A Sunday morning party on El Paso Road in Diboll ended in gunfire that killed 19-year-old Lewis Alonzo Torres on November 2, 2025. Deputies from the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office arrived about 2:07 a.m. and found three people shot; Torres was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other teenagers, ages 17 and 15, suffered non-life-threatening leg and foot wounds and were taken to hospitals.

Investigators recovered spent 9mm shell casings and, after receiving witness information, identified a suspect. Twenty-one-year-old Perry Lynn Dixon of Lufkin was found hiding under a bed in his apartment. A Glock 9mm pistol, believed to be the weapon used, was recovered from a return air vent in the hallway ceiling. Dixon was arrested and is being held at the Angelina County Jail on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; authorities said more charges are expected related to the injured teenagers.

Lewis, known to friends and family as Lew, was remembered as a singer and dancer who enjoyed being with friends and protecting those close to him. Does anyone who attended the party or knows more about that night have information that could help investigators?
