Brother Charged in Louisiana Lyft Driver’s Killing After Car Found in Houston

Investigators report evidence tying both men to the homicide, with the surviving suspect held in Harris County on a $2.5 million bond pending extradition.

Overview

  • Lawanna J. Lewis, 62, was found in a Westlake-area ditch with multiple gunshot wounds to the head, according to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office.
  • Deputies issued a BOLO for her missing vehicle, which Harris County deputies later located at a Houston-area Walmart near Wallisville Road.
  • Ethan I. Bush, 23, died after being struck by traffic while fleeing on foot from the scene, authorities said.
  • Tristan A. Bush, 26, was arrested after hiding in a residential backyard and is charged with second-degree murder as he awaits extradition to Louisiana.
  • Officials say additional charges are likely; reporting identifies the two men as brothers, notes prior arrests for Tristan and none for Ethan, and highlights a GoFundMe for the victim’s family.
