Casey Lewis was 33 when she was shot and killed in a Lafayette, Indiana Walmart parking lot on September 4, 2022. Surveillance footage showed Lewis and her boyfriend, Anthony J. Perez, leaving the store together and walking toward Lewis’s van. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing Lewis collapse near the vehicle; she died at the scene despite attempts to render aid.

Investigators described the shooter as a Hispanic male and later focused on Perez as the primary suspect. Perez had been on electronic monitoring for a prior methamphetamine possession charge and reportedly cut off his GPS tracker shortly before the shooting. He fled the scene on foot, and authorities conducted a multi-jurisdictional search that included efforts to locate him outside Indiana.

Anyone who saw Lewis and Perez in the store or parking lot that evening, or who has information about the events leading up to the shooting, is asked to come forward.
