Man Accused of Student Shooting in Wynwood Charged in Separate Murder

A man accused of shooting a Swedish student in Wynwood is now facing charges in the murder of a man just days after the Wynwood attack.

Devin Lewis, 25, appeared in court Thursday to face a first-degree murder charge in the June 11 killing. Lewis, who was already being held in the June 7 shooting in Wynwood, was ordered held without bond. It's unknown if he's hired an attorney.

According to an arrest report, Lewis shot and killed a man in the driveway of his home in the 1400 block of Northwest 58th Terrace just before midnight on June 11.

The victim had just pulled into the driveway in his truck when an armed Lewis approached and told him not to move, the report said. When the victim turned toward Lewis, Lewis shot him twice in the chest, pulled his neck chains off and ran to a waiting car, the report said.

The victim, who wasn't named in the report, later died at the hospital.

Detectives were able to get a fingerprint from the truck, which matched Lewis, the report said.

Lewis was arrested last Thursday in the June 7 shooting of 28-year-old Frank Hammar, a student at Miami Ad School. Hammar had just finished dinner with his parents at the Wynwood Diner when he was approached by two men. The men took his cell phone but when he refused to hand over his wallet, one of the men shot him twice, police said.

Hammar spent days at Jackson Memorial Hospital before he was released.
