Lewis was sent to the emergency room on December 16 after incurring burn injuries. Witnesses told investigators there was a gathering of people in the backyard of a residence in the 600 block of West Pine, inside the city limits of Jacksboro, where a small fire was burning inside a metal barrel.

Witnesses said Lewis was next to the barrel when an adult male – later identified as Lindsey – wanted to make the fire bigger so he picked up a gasoline can and put gasoline on the fire.
The gasoline and fire traveled across the barrel causing Lewis’ hair and clothing to catch on fire.

Investigators later found out those present at the residence were afraid of getting in trouble as alcohol was on the premise. Instead of calling 9-1-1, they drove the teen to Faith Community Hospital by private car.
