Tramell Tray K Lewis

Tramell “Tray” K. Lewis was an 18-year-old from Shreveport, Louisiana. Though public records and news reports are limited, those who knew him remembered a young person whose life mattered deeply to family, friends, and neighbors in his community. Local reporting identifies him by name and age, and notes he was in Shreveport when he died on December 5, 2019. Community memorial pages and remembrances created by friends and family reflect the grief felt by many and the desire to celebrate the life behind the name.

Public sources place Tramell’s death at Kingston Village Apartments in southwest Shreveport and the Caddo Parish coroner and local news reported his identification on December 6, 2019. In the weeks that followed, the Shreveport Police Department investigated the shooting and later announced an arrest connected to the December 5 death. Those facts are part of the public record, but they do not capture the fullness of Tramell’s life: a young person whose presence mattered to people around him and whose loss left a lasting sorrow.

Because a family-published obituary matching his full name and the exact date of death was not found in established obituary archives during this research, this remembrance focuses on honoring Tramell’s humanity rather than the circumstances of his death. While detailed personal information (such as schooling, work, or named family survivors) was not available in authoritative public notices, the existing accounts make clear that Tramell was known locally and mourned by his community. This page recognizes him as a real person whose life had value beyond the public record and honors the memory held by those who knew him.
