CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Four juveniles have been arrested in the shooting death of 16-year-old Tyce Lewis last week, authorities announced Sunday.
The Midlothian teenager died from a gunshot wound after he arrived at Chippenham Hospital at about 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24.
Police said their investigation found that Lewis was shot at the intersection of Kayvee Road and Vickilee Road.
Officers said Sunday that four boys had been charged with second-degree murder, robbery, and with use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection to the case. Their names will not be released as they are juveniles.
No additional details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting were released.
Lewis attended James River High School in Chesterfield where family and friends remember him as a loving and caring young man.
"He cared about all of his friends and family and anyone else that needed him. He stood up for the ones he loved too. He was loved and cared about by his peers, and all of his family," brother Darron Lewis said. "He was a good friend and the best little brother I could ask for. He is loved and missed."
Lewis called for a stop to "senseless" youth violence.
The family has set up a GoFundMeto help with burial costs.
